David Burrowes is the Conservative MP for Enfield Southgate.

His Constituency Association is seeking to deselect him as its parliamentary candidate.

Because he believes that marriage can only ever be the union of one man and one woman.

  1. Married with six children. No wonder he's been targetted.

  2. Well 5 of those children were already born when Mr. Burrowes was elected, so I doubt that his status as a parent is behind this.

    I believe that a constituency association should have the right to deselect an MP if they wish. Party democracy in action. Perhaps David is saddened at the thought of the Mother of Parliaments losing a Friend of Israel.

  3. While of course it doesn't surprise me, it might still surprise other people that this was the reason for deselecting a Tory.
