Ah - I see what you mean. I had jumped on the bandwagon and assumed that May had bought it up.
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.
Looks like they're doing ok at getting it on the agenda again! I've not heard anything about foxes for 15 years, now they're everywhere...
I'd have thought she could afford to just bat them down - it's not like she has a problem with ignoring / alienating much larger groups of people.

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.

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.
