The three main party manifestos tell you surprisingly little about where the parties stand on issues of politics, conscience and faith – there is nothing, for example, on euthanasia.

But do not be deceived by this apparent silence: the main reason for this is because understanding the moral landscape of British politics today requires a large degree of political decoding.
