"In the run-up to the last election, David Cameron led us to believe that the
strengthening of marriage as an institution was one of his important
objectives; and the Conservative Party's manifesto, which made no mention of "gay
marriage", included a proposed tax break for married couples. Nothing
has been heard of the latter proposal, and instead of action to strengthen
marriage we have the proposal to abandon the traditional understanding of
marriage on the basis of a "consultation" which explicitly
excluded the possibility of a negative result. Protestations that this is
all fundamentally "conservative" ring a bit hollow.
It is difficult not to wonder how far the Prime Minister is someone whose
steadiness of purpose can be relied on"
Just so.
Just so.
