I'd be surprised if the Conservatives disagree with civil partnerships, as Alan Duncan the Conservative shadow business secretary has become the first member of any cabinet or shadow cabinet to have a civil partnership. I have no doubt there will be some 'traditionalists' who disagree, but I don't think the split will be as divisive as the poll makes out.
