I would like to predict that the Tories will not win the next General Election. When Labour failed to ban fox hunting and this will probably end up with regulated hunting, the Tories should have jumped in with an outright ban policy. Sadly, even our local Tory MPs are to back regulation and that could be a bad decision. Many people would have switched to a Tory vote if they even hinted at a ban. Tragically the Tories will have a sympathetic ear for their cronies in the House of Lords who take part in fox hunting or know people who do.
