DescriptionAfter debating late into the night, MPs will vote Thursday on a controversial motion to revisit debate on same-sex marriage.

However, it appears to have little chance of passing when it goes to the vote.

More than 170 MPs, including six Conservative cabinet ministers, are reportedly ready to vote against the government motion to revisit same-sex marriage, according to a survey by The Globe and Mail.

These numbers are well above the 154 votes needed to defeat the Conservative motion asking the government to restore the traditional definition of marriage.
