Inspiring for who, very funny for a kiwi. Perhaps the UK government may listen to the 600,000 plus people against the redefining of marriage unlike the thousands here in NZ who were completey ignored.

Saw this the other day. Finally glad to see a politician somewhere talking sense.
You're not serious right? Using your own figures you think it's right that less than 1% of the UK population should be listened to as opposed to the millions who support it?I can't find a poll carried out in the UK this century that isn't heavily in favour of allowing gay marriage. Personally I haven't heard one single coherent argument against it, pretty soon most of the antis resort to religious nonsense that for me has no place in the modern world.
This is pretty good too, the reaction in the Kiwi Parliament when the result was announced;
Marriage (Definition of Marriage) Amendment Bill - Third Reading - Part 20 - YouTube
The Large One

Good, glad you enjoyed it. it was worth posting just for you.
Once the result of the vote was read out, parliament burst into song. It's beautiful.

Not bitter in the slightest, just suggesting there maybe more people against the redefining of marriage than the liberals think, and yes the politician was funny.

The Kiwi's are good at impromptu songs and haka's a school prizegiving can last for up to 4 hours.

That was nice. I am not in favour, though, of David Cameron and his crew of warbling their own rendition of a Lionel Ritchie classic and bringing Osborne to tears all over again when the win the vote to rehunt foxes and the homeless.

Excellent, amusing and moving at the same time. It's a matter of a small time before this happens here, one way or the other, so you'd better get used to it, topbanana. Like the guy said, nothing will change in your life as a result.

Unless of course I'm a marriage celebrant. Still think the politician was funny.

why don't you want to marry gay people mate?
In which case you will carry on doing exactly what you have always done, in exactly the same way as you have always done it.

I was a using touch of humour as I don't want to be called bitter. I dont care to be really honest if it's not the redefinition of marriage then it will be something equally controversial.
