Voters bombard MPs over same-sex marriage

Written by Super User 07 Jun 2012

The postbags of MPs are dominated by correspondence over same sex marriage from constituents asking them to oppose David Cameron’s plan to redefine marriage. According to the findings by ComRes, same-sex ‘marriage’ is one of the primary concerns mentioned in both letters and emails to MPs. Among Tories, 45 per cent say that letters and emails opposing same-sex marriage are the number one item in their postbag and email accounts. MPs from all parties revealed that constituents were ‘overwhelmingly’ against the measure, with 19 per cent generally opposed and 55 per cent strongly opposed to the measure. Just 16 per cent of those who are in touch with their MPs support the plans. The poll also found that only 4 per cent of MPs believe that redefining marriage is a main priority for the general public. Andrew Hawkins, Chief Executive of ComRes, said: ‘Clearly this issue has touched a raw nerve with the public, and not in a positive way.’

Pray: that the message opposing same-sex marriage will reach our Government loud and clear. (Jer.29:6)
