Journalists kept demanding Liberal MPs respect the will of their voters if those voters said yes to gay marriage.
In fact, the nine seats which voted most strongly against – in one case by 74 per cent – are all held by Labor MPs.
The nine highest no-voting electorates: Jason Clare’s Blaxland (74%), Tony Burke’s Watson (70%), Chris Bowen’s McMahon (65%), Anne Stanley’s Werriwa (64%), Chris Hayes’ Fowler (64%), Julie Owens’ Parramatta (62%), Ed Husic’s Chifley (59%), Maria Vamvakinou’s Calwell (57%) and Linda Burney’s Barton (56%).
So should these Labor MPs now vote for gay marriage, and where are the journalists attacking them for defying the will of their own voters?
All of those electorates have large Muslim minorities. Here is Labor’s “progressive” elite being challenged by a deeply conservative, even reactionary, base.

Gay Marriage Australia – ABC Astonished And Embarrassed By Muslims Voting No
By Andrew Bolt ~
Now that the Gay Marriage vote has been ‘done and dusted’ here in Australia, the ABC finds it “surprising” that electorates with big Muslim minorities voted no to gay marriage. The reporter explains that this is because the electorates are religiously and ethnically “diverse”. The “M” word is never mentioned, because that would associate a pet minority of the Left with views the Left despise. Astonishing.
Reader Brian of Thirlmere says this:
The Left, in general, have this insultingly simplistic view of minorities – that their status as minorities invariably means that they’re somehow in sync with the values espoused by Leftists.
