Well, the Church of England is no longer the Tory Party at Prayer
The Tories can try to rally the around "faith, flag and family" if they wish - but I don't think it would wash with the intellectually astute. I haven't forgetton Thatcherite economic policies (and the desired goal of high unemployment) and the impact they had on families and wider society
Many Christians, like myself, have a profound social conscience and I'm not yet sure whether the Conservative Party has regained theirs. In light of the past, they are in no position to take any moral high ground

But both France and Germany, countries which pride themselves on their "social conscience", have higher levels of unemployment even without undergoing Thatcherite economic reform.
Short-term desired result, to combat inflation.
