... always told me to vote my conscience first, my constituency second and my party third ...Wrong answer bub. When you are an elected representative, your constituency always comes first. Your conscience doesn't matter.

We have a representative democracy; our reps are not electors to do our bidding.
Besides, if you are Christian you know that it is always one's first duty to obey one's conscience.
