Young open minded and educated people who have rarely ever seen super one, and who are also not ignorant enough to blindly follow one party and discredit the other at all costs.

And reading up on labour history is one thing, but its another not to consider it because of its past mistakes.]]></description>

You don&#039;t have to be so snide. I&#039;m no christian and to what someone said below, I&#039;ve rarely ever watched superone, and obviously am very happy to be an EU citizen.

The labour party just seems to be more progressive at the moment, and one cannot deny that its not healthy for a country to have the same party in government for such a long time. Plus considering the fact that I&#039;m gay I&#039;m sure I&#039;d face more challenges from the same people who were too &#039;christian&#039; to allow others to get a divorce.]]></description>

And who are these &#039;quite a few people my age, 20&#039;?

Some illiterate stupid Super One-brainwashed persons?

Young people with their heads screwed up the right way would never dream of voting Labour. Think about it and read or ask about the LP history before taking such a drastic opinion.]]></description>

Then JPO would surely not be re-elected. He was against divorce in 1996 but is now for it in 2011 (for personal reasons).]]></description>

[John Schembri - Agreed , people would vote for the candidates who won’t change their positions regarding divorce: for , neutral or against].

No, we haven&#039;t agreed.

In the referendum, people voted on the referendum question (or whether they agreed with divorce legislation).

In parliament, MPs will not be voting on the referendum question (or on whether they agree with divorce legislation).  In parliament MPs will be voting on whether to legislate for divorce (as the people have decided in the referendum).  Essentially they will be voting on whether to respect a democratic vote or not.

MPs who voted NO in the referendum but vote YES in parliament, would not be changing their position.  It&#039;s an entirely different question.]]></description>
