Christian Party says gay marriage plans cost Tories Eastleigh

The Prime Minister's described the Tories' performance at the Eastleigh by-election as disappointing.

The Liberal Democrats held on to the seat - albeit with a reduced majority - while UKIP beat the Conservatives into second. David Cameron blames tactical voting. Kevin Milburn ran for the Christian Party and told Premier's News Hour he thinks gay marriage was a key factor when it came to votes. 

The Coalition for Marriage (C4M) has also said the Conservative Party's third-place finish is a reaction to the proposals to redefine marriage.

Mr Hart, Campaign Director for C4M, said:

"In 2010 none of the three main political parties had redefining marriage in their manifesto. 

"UKIP's stunning second place result in this by-election should serve as a wake-up call to the Prime Minister."
