Farrar at Kiwiblog has a post up on gay marriage detailing the views of our parliamentarians on the issue

 

• Kevin Hague – in favour
• Stephen Whittington – in favour
• Annette King – in favour
• Clare Curran – in favour
• Catherine Delahunty – in favour
• David Shearer – in favour
• Holly Walker – in favour
• Carol Beaumont – in favour but not high priority
• Grant Robertson – personally in favour but Labour policy just to modernise relationship law
• Heather Roy – would vote in favour but state should not be involved
• Rahui Katene – undecided, thinks civil unions are enough
• Simon Bridges – undecided, but relaxed about civil unions
• David Cunliffe – supports civil unions, but guided by public opinion on gay marriage
• Hone Harawira – against
• Peter Dunne – against, as civil unions sufficient
• Winston Peters – against, wants a referendum
• Bill English – against, has changed view on civil unions which he is now relaxed about
• Tim Macindoe – against

This is for me a no brainer we can ditch marriage as an institution and allow everyone civil unions or we can grow up and support gay marriage. Everyone has the right to a mother in law.

 Grant Robertson – personally in favour but Labour policy just to modernise relationship law
 David Cunliffe – supports civil unions, but guided by public opinion on gay marriage

What the fuck ?  The deputy leader of the Labour party and the aspiring leaders ( both ) to Labour.

I have never been a fan of Cunliffe but Robertson needs to pull his head out of the sand. Incidentally the reason why David Shearer is the right man to lead Labour is above. He has the right instincts.

Oh and the leader of Mana  the party that will save the left

Hone Harawira – against

Fuck you Hone. And fuck your political movement, and fuck your mates.
