I wonder why they even bother to do this. I don't know where you live, but I assume that if there's people there who hunt, and want to do more of it, it's already a pretty secure Tory strong hold. If not your area specifically, I'd bet this is generally the case.
Looking at the result of the 2015 election and Brexit result, it's not like the Tory's actually need to promise legalising animal cruelty to shore up their countryside vote - they already own all the countryside constituencies.
I assume bringing up fox hunting again today is therefore an exercise in MLE / expert bashing.

All good points.
What does MLE mean?

Tory Lord Mancroft, chairman of the Council of Hunting Associations, said a sizeable majority for Ms May could usher in a new era for fox hunting and a vote on the issue could be scheduled for as early as this year.
Hate to appear to be charitable towards our autocratic unstable leader, but I think you need to read between the lines on this one.
It looks like an astute move by a minority group to push their agenda while they have the chance. It seems to be a given that the Tories will win by a landslide, but I'm sure TM isn't being complacent so now is the time to secure a deal.

I was referring to the local hunt (Heythrop) at the estate where I live. There are hundreds of people involved in that hunt. I can't speak for all people. Also have gone to a lot of events where the Conservatives campaign on the promise to repeal the ban
It turns out now that it is not only a legit campaign issue for rural voters but also I see there is now a thread on here about fox hunting, which seems to be not all haters, and an interesting discussion, particularly for those who don't live in rural areas and might find it useful
So the debate is relevant. You are welcome
