But how many fox hunters can there be in seats that are marginal,
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.
