another story on the weekend's Conservative Party convention. When delegates voted en masse against same-sex marriage, gay Tories put "a positive spin on it. A predicted walkout of delegates after the same-sex vote failed to materialize. They’re choosing party over principle."
Other popular policy moves include:
"Raising the age of sexual consent to 16 from 14;
"'Three strikes and you're out' criminal sentencing;
"And adding property rights to the Constitution, a move that would undermine the ability of government to protect the environment."
