Is this really why God made Conservatives?

From the Guardian: “A last-ditch Conservative bid to scupper the government’s plans for extended pub opening hours failed in the Commons tonight. The move was rejected by 302 votes to 228, majority 74. The Tories had hoped to prevent next week’s relaxation of Britain’s drinking laws, with a vote on whether to allow the Licensing Act - passed two years ago - to come into effect... Although the Tories stood little chance of stopping the Licensing Act coming into force, their tactics compelled Labour MPs to record a vote for or against the plans.”
