I am surprised by much of what is going on with the Tories. Why have they brought up fox hunting. It's highly unpopular amongst most voters, as is their backtracking on the domestic ivory trade. The UK is famously a nation of animal lovers. People like foxes and elephants. Why risk pissing their voters off over something like this?

It also shows they've just thrown this manifesto together out of odd ideas written on the back of a napkin

Its either that or its arrogance. I think its the former.

The Conservative government, including May, believe that leaving the EU is political suicide but now Mays left facing what she probably considers an impossible mandate and she doesn't want to take responsibility for collapsing the whole country.

People have been rendered speechless by her manifesto and she keeps gleefully reminding us that she only needs to lose six more seats!

I think it's more arrogance that she knows she guaranteed the win and is pushing through as much as she can.
If this was a close thing she wouldn't dream of adding fox hunting to the agenda.It's certainly not a vote winner.

If its arrogance, the Tories already believe they exist in a one party state.

Forcing the elderly sick to pay equity to the government (instead of passing on to next of kin)
Increases to interest rates on student loans,
Refusal to increase the minimum wage,
Reductions to corporation tax,
Cuts to the NHS (won’t rule out privatisation)
An entirely volunteered repeat-vote on fox-hunting, openly supporting the hugely unpopular blood-sport
Re-legalising the immoral ivory trade
Restrictions to what British citizens can see on the internet, introducing North Korea-style censorship and state propaganda

Well I've seen you as a bit of a fence sitter for a while now and nothing wrong with that. You get a better view from up there don't you?!?

I'm just glad you've seen the light

Not fence sitting.I have strong opinions on most issues.Strong anti Corbyn opinions and anti Tory.I struggle for a political home.I have right and left wing views on different issues and there isn't a party who represents me.
I have to walk into that polling station with a peg on my nose when i cast that Labour vote.
