For instance, I was watching an interview with several PM's over motions such as the reaffirmation of marriage. Many of the liberals voted for it while the official party position was against it.
Anyway, during the interview, a PM was saying things like "call me old fashioned but I think..." Now, doesn't she mean "call my constituents old fashioned but they think?" Not at all, because she's out there to represent her own view and not the views of her riding...

She may say that in an interview but rest assured that if it came down to a vote in the house, she would cave to the party whip and vote the party line, regardless of her or her constituents wishes.
