Party vs conscience debate

From The Panel, 4:40 pm on 26 July 2018

National's Finance spokeswoman Amy Adams yesterday tweeted a photo supporting abortion law reform and a women's right to choose.

She concedes she previously stated the former Government's position on the matter as she was Justice Minister. Now she's in opposition she says she can express her own view.

We ask the question then, do we expect MPs to toe the party line or speak their minds? The panelists discuss.
