- edent 10y agoEqual Marriage was a good move which was broadly supported. Other than that, not much.
- verbify 10y agoI think 'religion is the opium of the people' cuts both ways. Politicians will push through popular socio-economic policies (e.g. gay marriage) in order to be able to get enough support to also push through their unpopular economic policies.
- keithpeter 10y agoYes, the resignation speech mentioned the equal marriage legislation and foreign aid specifically. I suspect that is a semaphore for the successor (who will be further to the right) to leave those firmly alone.
