SURVEY OF CONSTITUENTS ON SAME SEX MARRIAGE
News Story

Mid Worcestershire MP Peter Luff is launching his first ever on-line survey of constituents on same sex marriage.
The survey can be found at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PY8VZRV

Peter explained,

“I have had passionate emails and letters on both sides of the argument, with a significant majority against introducing same sex marriage. So I am aware that this is a subject on which many of my constituents have strong views, but I have only heard from a small minority so far.

“I am anxious to gain a closer understanding of the views of a wider range of people and I hope they will respond to this survey which I will keep open until the end of November. The results will not determine how I vote – there is always a risk with on-line surveys of one side of an argument organising a massive vote in favour of their own view. I also believe that MPs owe their constituents their own judgment too.

“I hope, though, that the findings will help me to understand local views more closely and so shape my own thinking on this sensitive and controversial subject.”
