The problem and issue with your entire essay is that you value your opinion above God's. What God values and says to do is more important than what your idea of idealogical change is. Martyn understands this on a deeper level and what he is proposing is that those who are already advocating in parliament for these changes irrespective of what party need to remain there. If you are involved in politics you would know that. A complete swing for new parties won't change overnight and holding onto those who are making changes in Parliament and advocating for godly principles is more important than choosing new parties who have no experience and have never actually done something to bring about actual change in parliament. I would say your naive and inexperience is obvious in the way that you criticise the sole entity standing for Christians and God in parliamentary affairs and rather than supporting you are criticising. Throwing dirt at someone who is actually doing more than you isn't bringing unity within brethren and I believe a true activist would know that unity and support of true godly moves from God which Martyn totally has God's support having met the man myself. I would say God can and will do what He sees fit and figuring out what our individual role that is in this world is more important than criticising someone for magnificent efforts. The ACL is amazing and so is Martyn.
