Faith groups are to be given a central role in shaping government policies,
a senior minister has vowed.

So there's an election coming, and the Labour Party is competing for
the votes of the religiously inclined. No doubt the Conservatives will
do something of the same closer to May. I suppose they feel that there
are more religious people who will vote for them because they give
faith groups influence, than secularists who would vote for them if
they didn't - and I suspect that in that belief they're probably
correct.
