Richard is a Christian. N.B. The Ten Commitments Manifesto is deliberately brief. It is intended to make it as easy as possible for electors to form an accurate and balanced overview of Richard and his politics in just a few minutes (in the knowledge that few people have the time or inclination to study lengthy manifestos or research candidates in detail). It is hoped that the Ten Commitments Manifesto is just right to communicate to most electors the sort of MP they will get if Richard is elected.
