Government ‘should help people make the choice to marry’
by Tony Rucinski, Coalition for Marriage:
Interview with Danny Kruger MP.
Danny Kruger has been outspoken in his support of marriage since his election to Parliament as MP for Devizes in December 2019. I caught up with Danny to explore his work promoting stronger families and a healthier society. You can listen to our discussion here:
Opposing the “liberal idea that one’s identity is essentially self-created”, Danny says that, from nation to family, “we derive our identity from the associations we form part of”.
He speaks of “conservative radicalism” and a “tradition of local activism” as a means of resisting “over-bearing central bureaucracy”, saying that the digital revolution gives opportunities “to recover some very old-fashioned ideas about how we organise ourselves”.
The “primary mission of government”, he goes on, “is to strengthen institutions that make us safe, happy and free”. Marriage, he says, “helps to hold our society together” and “is the best form in which adults can regularise their relationships and provide the safe and supportive home in which to bring children up”.
That’s why Government “should be helping people to make the choices to marry”.
