The Tottenham Independent has asked each parliamentary candidate why they should become an MP at the General Election.

Here, the Christian Peoples Alliance candidate for Hornsey and Wood Green Helen Spiby-Vann sets out why you should vote for her.

1) Enable justice, for all to live dignified and prosperous lives, by promoting Godly values - having a stable economy and applying just tax breaks is great, but our wealth is also built on the way we treat each other.

2) Policies centred on people to facilitate care and generosity to those less fortunate: - Benefits and taxation that encourage people to work but looks after those that can’t, or don’t earn much. Increase minimum wage and pension.

- An NHS that’s there for the benefit of patients, not each team’s targets.

- Education that respects families and encourages men to respect women.

3) Protecting families by strengthening marriages: - The government spends £47 billion per annym on troubled families. Break-ups cause poverty for mums and dads and disadvantage for children, as well as increasing the demand for housing, healthcare and state benefit.

- Address this by introducing grants of £10,000 for first-time marriages on condition couples attend marriage training. On the birth of their child they would receive £5,000 on condition they attend a parenting course.

4) Pro-life - Those who have an abortion deserve our sympathy. Abortion leads to increased exploitation of women and violates their dignity. Moreover, the language of human rights is rarely in support of those in the womb.

- Post-abortion trauma should be recognised as a women’s disease.

- Accommodation for women made homeless by pregnancy, one-parent families, pregnant women with special needs. Post-abortion counselling, hospices providing palliative care for adults, children and infants.

- Oppose euthanasia which perceives the elderly and disabled as a burden.

5) Freedom of speech - Support the religious conscience and promotion of Godly values so that people of faith won’t get penalised - We are a Christian country and Christians should not be prevented from living out their faith by reading the Bible in a public setting, praying, wearing a cross to work or promoting Christian concepts such as Biblical marriage.
