Rumours have been circulating that there is disquiet within the Liberal party room, with the majority of Liberal MPs ready for a conscince vote. And the timing couldn’t be better, with recent polling showing public support for marriage equality at an all-time high of 72%, making it clear where their electorates stand. Not only that, but Senator David Leyonhjelm — a conservative himself — has a private members’ bill on marriage equality ready to go if Prime Minister Abbot allows a conscience vote. The stars could be finally aligning for marriage equality, but to get any legislation to pass, Prime MInister Abbott must allow his party a free vote.
Will you call on the Liberal party to allow a conscience vote on same-sex marriage?
