How do you know this LYY.. do you have to state which religion you are when you vote ? Or are polls carried out separately, in which case, the fact that someone bothers may show a fear of a leaning to a link between politics and religion.
Of course, there is always some sort of link, as in the way we are brought up and standards of behaviour. To me, anyone who believes in The Garden of Eden is a bit doo-lally anyway, but as long as they are a good, hardworking politician with the public's best interest at heart, and not too extreme a view of one of their beliefs, which could be 'pushed' (i.e. Jehovah's Witnesses view on blood donations) then they will get my vote.
If ever we have a ruling majority with Muslim leaders .. that's when I think we may be in for a change. As it stands at the present, I don't think any law will get through based just on one body's religious beliefs, and not for the good of the whole.
