The PM must be of British origin
THE population of this country has changed considerably with immigration. I am happy to see these people represented by councillors and MPs from the immigrant population.
However, the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary should only be of British origin and the Christian faith.

“What brought this letter on?
Yes the PM should be British of course.
But why Christian?
I think Christianity should exclude you from having such a responsible job.
In fact the Prime Minister should be specifically atheist or secular so that he can truly represent all facets of British society without prejudice.
Tony Blair and George W.Bush are committed christians - that didn't stop them from committing their countries to several wars during their period in office.
Any PM that thinks he can 'talk to god' has to be borderline insane.”
