I'd say a much greater percentage of the CPC would vote pro-ssm.<BR/>i posted that in my diary here, and in my centrist blog, centrerion.blogspot.com.<BR/>cheers<BR/>lecentrelecentrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222167724514794038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13843231.post-1138239889942146412006-01-25T20:44:00.000-05:002006-01-25T20:44:00.000-05:00Thanks, TT, for the figure of 110.

Can you help me sort out which are which?<BR/><BR/>As for your choice of positive-language, if I would have thought of it, I might have tried it, and I appreciate that one should try as much as possible to use neutral language when doing an exercise like this. One advantage my system has is that we end up with the abbreviated handles pro-ssm and anti-ssm. Would anyone know what I meant if I called one side pro-ssm and the other pro-tdm? I think in this case, a little bit of political correctness can be sacrified for clarity and concision.bucketshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14335699928912269666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13843231.post-1138227875472025582006-01-25T17:24:00.000-05:002006-01-25T17:24:00.000-05:00You can count about 110 of the 124 Conservative MP...You can count about 110 of the 124 Conservative MPs as supporting the traditional definition of marriage, and 14 as supporting same-sex marriage. (Note that I use positive language to describe both sides, you should give it a shot).<BR/><BR/>Many of the Liberals who were defeated this time voted against the SSM bill, but I haven't figured out how many. I've been interesting in how the math will play out but haven't done the exact math yet.Michael Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15225767793602935802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13843231.post-1138197934374561872006-01-25T09:05:00.000-05:002006-01-25T09:05:00.000-05:00very interesting writing, living here in the USA w...very interesting writing, living here in the USA we are going crazy about the marriage issue. of course Bush dropped the Idea of a marriage admendment right after his re-election.Edward Otthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17408434056681586554noreply@blogger.com
