Of course it will be won,that is one of the reasons she wants a bigger majority.
MPs were lobbied in 2004 when Labour were holding a vote to ban this type of hunting.
The Cons had around 180 MPs then and 115 voted against it being banned and only 6 voted for the ban.
Imagine 370 to 400 Con MPs this time,freevote irrelevant,their leader putting forward a manifesto proposal.
This is the only Party that wants it back and they will vote in enough numbers to ensure it is legalised again.
The Cons never wanted it banned, they voted every vote comfortably against it being banned.
They will vote it back,no doubt in my mind,I would put all I had on that.
They have a leader determined to satisfy the hunting lobby and get it back.
People can delude themselves all they like,the Cons have never supported the ban and will with ease,if she gets a larger majority,vote to legalise this vile act again.
