A Liberal Democrat election view: A ‘change’ election

This general election feels very much like a ‘change’ election. People feel things are broken; they are disillusioned and seeking something different.
But disillusionment often means looking for someone to blame. Elections should of course highlight dividing lines between parties, but any ‘us versus them’ debate that actively pits groups against each other should be a red flag to Christians. We mustn’t lose sight of the dignity and worth of our opponents as human beings.
