Bring Back Fox Hunting - Page 17

TBH, I don't know if the maths will favour a repeal now the Tories don't have an outright majority by themselves. Cameron would only be able to carry this on a free vote. There's no way he can whip the Lib Dems to go for it.

I'm not sure either, though I expect there will be a lot pushing for it. Badger culling also on the agenda, Britains wildlife loses again.

Cheers Chris. Before this thread was closed I was wondering if this issue would have any impact on the way people were going to vote? I heard a couple of women say on radio phone in's during the run up to polling day that they couldn't possibly vote for those nasty tories because of this and tbh couldn't believe what I was hearing, how some could put this issue on the same level as the economic crisis beggars belief imo and we'll see how important those "nasty tories" think it is during their first parliament, I bet it isn't even discussed.

For some people there are issues wider than the pound in their pocket.

Yep as long as moderately cute looking vermin can roam the lands everything will be rosy.

I'm sure it is now.

I do not think that huntsmen look cute but they are vermin.

I'm no sure why the thread has been re-opened to just go over the same old arguments, it's been done to death & no-one is going to change their opinion.

Well with hero Dave now in charge they all expect the hunting ban to repealed, I personally would rather see a huntsman peeled.

Err becasue I asked for it to be re opened to see if it had any impact on the way people voted, there are some out there that actually voted to keep Labour in over this, inspite of everything. Perhaps you have a point though, might be best to close it if only to save us from anymore of Masque's wit....

I'm sure it did but I didn't vote Labour & it's one of things I am ashamed the Torys are associated with.

I didn't vote Labour and never have but after hearing the way people like Tony Banks were jumping up and down on the night of the ban shouting things like "that showed the toffs" it's one of the many, many things I'd be ashamed of if I had, there were so many much better ways of dealing with hunting than the legislation they put forward.

Why for voter appeal.

Could someone please explain how exactly a free vote translates to "Tories will bring back fox hunting" as not all tories want to see it return, similarly with the LDs and Labour, and the other parties?
