If you’re undecided about which way to vote on tomorrow’s General Election (12 December), a blog written by Simeon Mitchell, the United Reformed Church’s (URC) Secretary for Church and Society, may be of help.

The blog is written for the Joint Public Issues Team (JPIT), made up of the Baptist Union, the Church of Scotland, the Methodist Church and the URC which works together for peace and justice.

Entitled ‘Getting to the heart of the General Election', Simeon explores key issues and how your vote could affect your neighbour.
