Martin breaking another promise. Terribly surprising.
That said, I agree somewhat with MarchHare. O'Brien's move is meaningless grandstanding. If he wanted to kill the same sex marriage bill, he should have voted against the budget. If the government is defeated, the bill dies. If the conservatives in the next election, nothing happens until the next time the Liberals gain power.
He's making a statement, certantly, but this statement will not change the balance of power in the HoC.
