Evangelicals and the Conservative Party in the UK Election

[Are_grits_groceries]

As the British General Election approaches, several articles have explored links between evangelical Christians and the Conservative Party. The Conservative Christian Fellowship is increasingly prominent, and one MP works with a lobbying organisation that in turn receives support for the Alliance Defense Fund. There is also a think-tank which has played a significant role in Conservative policy-making, and its head, who is also running for election, is revealed in today's Observer as regarding homosexuality in terms of "demonic activity".
A February report in the Financial Times sets the scene:

A Conservative MP was stage-whispering in the leathery, dark Pugin Room of the House of Commons late last year. With a view of the Thames, teacup in hand, he hissed at me: "They've campaigned to change the processes so that they can bus in their voters, stuffing the selection meetings with their people. They don't outnumber us, but they can out-organise us. They're taking over the party."
"They" are evangelical Christians.
