I had an email yesterday from a Christian organisation explaining how great it would be if we have an 'hung parliament,' in the forthcoming election, where no party has an overall majority. Their thinking was that unity is a strong biblical principle, and having the three main parties working together for the good of the country would be wonderful.

How can I put this without sounding condescending? The last time we had an 'hung parliament ' was in the 1970s with Harold Wilson at the helm, within a year we had another election, this produced yet another 'hung parliament' with Jim Callaghan. You have probably guessed the outcome of that one, a total flop!

I pray that one party will have an overall majority, especially if it's the one I plan to vote for!

But, here is something I am certain of, it's not Conservative, Labour or Liberal Democrat, but it is the sovereign will of God. He is the God of our Lord Jesus Christ who loves us, lavishes His grace upon us. He rules and reigns and you certainly can't vote for Him. He is the Lord.
