The 34-28 poll was not regarding whether or not gay marriage should be legalised, it was regarding which of the two proposals (gay marriage bill, or plain packaging bill should be dropped), and more people voted for the gay marriage bill to be dropped.(May 18, 2013 at 4:30 pm)ideologue08 Wrote: There was another poll done which shows 34 to 28 points in favour of gay marriageHmmm... Let's take a look at that survey... Does the question you are refering to ask people if they support same-sex marriage? Let's see how the lovely people at C4M worded the question...
This totally unbiased survey Wrote:Q.1 Do you agree or disagree with each of these statements?
Legalising same-sex marriage is important because keeping Civil Partnership and marriage separate and distinct worsens public attituded towards gay people
Do you see how it's a different fucking question?
Although thanks for digging up the survey. Some interesting things I found.
Q Given the controversy over legalising same-sex marriage it should be decided by a national referendum and not just a House of Commons vote 54% AGREE, 26% DISAGREE.
Q Marriage should continue to be defined as a life-long exclusive commitment between a man and a woman
vote 62% AGREE 28% DISAGREE
Make of that what you will...
