If he promised backbenchers something they really wanted too, he would be able to swing, maybe reluctantly but still never-the- less support for this.
Since he says he is supposedly so keen on the people deciding things,it surprises me he would not trust their view as leaving foxhunting illegal or making it legal again,via a referendum on the issue.
He could even hold it at the same time as his 'possible' EU referendum at a massively reduced cost.
