Well the Gay Marriage bill passed the Commons vote
So who were the 175 who voted against? More to the point, were any of them not Tories?

Perhaps I've misjudged them. Maybe they're not all evil after all?

i like that
but couldn't such logic be followed by something along the lines of
“Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.” ?
many hands make light work of spoiling the broth that gathers no moss in the bush and all that.

I read Hansard a lot at work...
Every time Peter Bone chimes in I lose a little bit more faith in the essential goodness of Man. The bloody bigot was probably the first one through the division door.
Anyone want to come to my disestablishmentarian tea afternoon next week?
edit: If you look here tomorrow you'll be able to see who voted which way.

not likely to vote conservative anyway,
but apparently four Lib Dems voted against.
I might start voting Green.

yeah it's about as big a majority as any bill typically gets,
and MPs are "supposed" to represent their constituents anyway, not just themselves.

that's a relief,
I was a bit worried the gay rights people had been a little hasty, but it looks like they managed to pull it off.
