Background
We call on the Government to confirm the UK’s identity as a nation based on Christian heritage, and to introduce legislation requiring a binding national referendum before any laws or governance derived from another religion—such as Islamic law—can be adopted into the UK legal system. This would safeguard our cultural and legal traditions while ensuring that any significant changes to the foundations of UK law are made only with the explicit consent of the people.
