See No Evangelicals, Hear No Evangelicals...

"Liberal Party pollsters were in the field last week asking Ontarians whether they were 'more or less likely to vote for the Conservative/Alliance if you knew they had been taken over by evangelical Christians.' - Paul Wells, Apr. 20

Of course, the EFC responded:

Then there is the issue of the term "taken over by" in the polling question. This implies that there is a conspiracy. A conspiracy would require a degree of political uniformity among evangelicals that simply doesn't exist. As for conspiring, critics would complain that evangelicals are more prone to shouting into megaphones than whispering in corners.

There is no plot and there is no conspiracy. Given the percentage of evangelicals in the general population, one would presume that 12 per cent of candidates will be evangelicals; 12 per cent of MPs will be evangelicals; 12 per cent of your neighbours and co-workers will be evangelicals.

Evangelical Christians do not vote as a bloc. In fact, pollsters tell us that evangelicals vote along similar lines as the rest of Canadians. This means that if the Liberals alienate evangelicals, they will lose a significant base of support.
