Cameron humbled by gay marriage vote rebellion: More Tory MPs vote against Cameron than for him as PM’s bill gets through thanks to Labour and Lib Dems
- 134 Tory MPs opposed and 126 backed the plans, with 35 abstaining
- Cameron sees the measure passed with the help of Labour and Lib Dems
- First gay marriages likely to be conducted within 12 months
What further proof do you need that Cameron – and his Cabinet – are NOT Tories. He has had his way, against the wishes of the majority of Tory M.Ps, by leading Labour and LibDems through this disgusting process.
Think wisely – Vote UKIP for Conservative values!

My MP, Connor Burns, a shirt lifter, went on record that he was going to vote against this. Seems to have changed has mind.
I have now formed the opinion that either Cameron is breathtakingly stupid, or is deliberately out to destroy the conservative party. My guess is the latter. I’ll be lending my vote to UKIP.
I also honestly believe that Cameron is out to deliberately destroy the Tory Party. And…..after being a lifelong Tory, I am now a UKIP supporter.
