Faith and Reform: is the religious right on the rise in UK politics?
AI Summary
The article examines the potential rise of the religious right in UK politics, focusing on the increasing influence of devout Christians like Danny Kruger and James Orr within Reform UK. These individuals, also connected to right-wing think tanks and figures like Philippa Stroud and Paul Marshall, hold socially conservative views. The article questions whether the UK is following the US model, where evangelicalism is a significant force in right-wing politics. However, it notes that UK evangelicals are a much smaller percentage of the population and don't uniformly support right-wing parties. Recent polling data suggests UK evangelicals are more diverse in their political affiliations, with significant support for Labour, despite conservative views on certain social issues.
