Steve Richards of The Independent asks why social reforms like gay marriage generate such heated reactions; how do prime ministers judge the danger from plots against them; and why do some big political figures risk everything for a lie ? He talks to Conservative MPs Mike Freeer and Tim Loughton; to the Tory peer Norman Fowler and Labour's Bernard Donoughue; and to the author, Richard Davenport-Hines. Editor: Peter Mulligan.
