Votewise Now! argues that politics should be first and foremost about right relationships, and that the best way to ‘do’ politics is to engage with the things that really concern people.

Published by social reform organisation, the Jubilee Centre, a panel of experts examine the most important issues facing Britain today, including topics such as the economy, criminal justice, race relations, and employment.

After outlining the key debates, Votewise Now! presents a Christian perspective and offers a series of principles against which readers may evaluate party promises and so vote wisely.

The book concludes with a Christian MP from each of the UK’s three main political parties responding to the question, ‘Why should a Christian vote for your party?’

The panel of writers was brought together by the Jubilee Centre, a Christian social reform organisation based in Cambridge with a history of political engagement.

To coincide with the launch of the book, the Jubilee Centre has also released a group discussion guide and an accompanying short video, which poses questions such as ‘Which party has the best answers to the global economic crisis?’
