Yes I've been extremely perplexed about why he nailed his colours to this paticular mast. Whatever his motives, as absent says, he's failed and there are many battles ahead as the bill goes through all its stages which will stir everything up again. It's a gift for the right of his party who want him gone. Do you think that perhaps it is just another example of poor judgement?

I think partly he wanted to demonstrate that the Tory party is not packed with a bunch of out-of-date old fogeys – which is exactly the opposite of what he has demonstrated.

Rights and wrongs of gay marriage aside, I'm genuinely perplexed as to why Cameron was so determined to push for this change in the law.

He doesn't strike me as a particularly liberal person and there was no public clamour for change, although there seems to be majority public support.

His MPs and party are mostly against - so I just don't 'get it'. confused

There are other ways he could have shown that they are not the nasty party.
