Questioned last week about whether his decision to get married is a political one, Ed Miliband insisted that, 'what people care about in this country is people having stable families.' This answer reveals a disturbing failure by the leader of Her Majesty's Official Opposition to understand two crucial facts that fresh research by Jubilee Centre to be published in the coming weeks makes increasingly plain.
Firstly, that marriage is always political, for it has huge social and economic ramifications; and secondly, that all other forms of relationship offer families far less stability than marriage.
It is also a public health issue.........to the cost of £42 billion a year.
