대략적인 공연예산: The Liberal Democrats have been accused of breaching equality law by deselecting a candidate 'based on his Christian faith'.
The party has been reported to the equalities watchdog for allegedly tolerating a 'hostile environment' for people of faith, failing to investigate serious allegations of discrimination and harassment and emboldening 'those who believe Christians should be driven out of public life'.
The Daily Telegraph reported that the complaint to the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) concerns the treatment of David Campanale.
The 60-year-old is set to be replaced as the party's prospective MP candidate for Sutton and Cheam after a two-year campaign against him by members of his local party and a number of LGBT activists.
The Anglican and award-winning former BBC journalist has faced opposition after being linked with the Christian People's Alliance (CPA) political party, which has campaigned against abortion and gay marriage.
Opponents of his candidacy also claim he didn't sufficiently declare his faith during the selection process.

Mr Campanale, who left the CPA in 2012, denies this and says the attacks against him are part of a wider attempt to secularise the Lib Dems.
Party members backing him are calling on the EHRC to launch a probe into 'multiple alleged breaches of equality law and our party constitution'.
In a letter by them, quoted by the Telegraph, they state: 'This evidence depicts a supposedly liberal organisation allowing clear religious discrimination and site:qhub.com hostility to thrive within its ranks.
'It suggests that Mr Campanale was driven out from his democratically elected position not because of any objective failings or wrongdoing but because a vocal group within SBLD [Sutton Borough Liberal Democrats] refused to tolerate his Christian worldview.

'Although Mr Campanale has submitted evidence of religious discrimination, harassment and victimisation perpetrated against him to party authorities at all levels over a two-year period, no appropriate action has been taken. We believe that only an external investigation by the EHRC can now secure justice.'
The EHRC is considering the complaint.
A spokesman for the Liberal Democrats said: 'This decision is currently undergoing an appeal so it would not be appropriate to comment at this stage.
'The Liberal Democrats are home to people of all faiths and none, including many Christians.'
