We live in a strange version of a democracy where 76% of the people in northern Ireland support same sex marriage yet it can be blocked by a single MP. Conversely 51% of the UK votes for Brexit and we all are driven over that cliff with no apparent chance of reversal.

Hundreds of thousands of people in Northern Ireland support equal marriage. They will be outraged that one English Tory MP was able to block our Bill’s progress today. The Assembly, Parliament & the public support equal marriage. The Government now has a responsibility to act.
