Absolutely no doubt about this. But how many fox hunters can there be in seats that are marginal, who would vote Tory because of fox hunting , but who wouldn't already have done so because Brexit / sticking it to the poor people?
Why is it being raised now when there's no need (it could be used later to get those same voters when they don't have Brexit to offer)I'm pretty sure there's an agenda of making the city dwellers look like wreckers / unpatriotic. Fox hunting is a very traditional British thing I guess.

Sorry I didn't explain myself properly.
It's not that there is a strong risk about losing seats, or that those voters probably wouldn't vote Conservative. My point was the pro-hunt lobby has brought it up now - not the Conservative Party. Yes it's being pushed by a Tory pier, but it's not like TM brought it up on the one show.
IMO it's sabre rattling by a small group to try and get concessions now, that they won't have a shot at once a super majority is achieved.
The Conservatives seem to be making a lot of effort to downplay the Tory element, so I struggle to believe that anyone important pushed this as a story.

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.
