    Labour MPs could vote with their conscience

    Labour MPs could vote with their conscience


    51 percent of New Zealanders ticked No to legalising the drug in last year's referendum.

    But a new poll by the Helen Clark Foundation suggests about 20 percent of people who voted against legalisation -- still support decriminalisation.

    Kris Faafoi says it's interesting - and nothing more.

    He says he voted Yes in the referendum - but it doesn't matter because the issue's not on the Government's work programme.
