Voting Details for Civil Unions Bill

The NZ Herald has kindly provided a list of how MPs voted on the second reading.

The summary by party is not given. For those interested it is:

ACT 4 – 5
Green 9 – 0
Labour 45 – 6
Maori 0 – 1
National 3 – 24
NZ First 2 – 11
Progressive 2 – 0

Total 65 – 55

On top of the 56 votes from MPs from centre left parties, I congratulate the nine other MPs who voted for the second reading. Well done ACT’s Rodney, Heather, Ken and Richard, NZ First’s Ron and Brian and of course Katherine, Pansy and Clem from National.
