    To be fair, a different party can change how the legislation is going to function which the other party could object to.

    Most extreme example being that the NHS was originally proposed by a Conservative health minister under Churchill, but was implemented with some changes by the Labour government. The Conservatives voted against it because they agree with the amendments to the original bill.

        The idea was part of the Beveridge Report, but the white paper for a national health service was written by Henry Willink, the Conservative health minister.

        The reason that the Conservatives opposed the Bevan amendments was because it nationalised voluntary hospitals.
