Fox hunting banned
Posted by DaveEllis
Makes me laugh that they think that invading the House of Commons will somehow help their cause.
Pathetic.
Good ban too!

Due to the voting system in Germany, Governments are always made up of coalitions of different parties. At the last election, an almost unprecidented result saw the CDU/CSU (rough equivilant of the Conservatives) go into Government with the SPD (rough equivilant of Labour)

yay!
i was watching the bbc news earlier and saw a family with 2 or 3 young kids who were all painting placards which said "We Love Hunting" etc etc.
then they interviewed the mother and she said "We love hunting, its a great sport. What better way to spend time with your family and kids every saturday?"
i thought "what the fock!!? Are you SERIOUS. you can't find anything better to do with your kids?"
RIP Jules, never to be forgotten. #KeepFightingMichael

To be fair this could backfire especially towards farmers.
By hunting they kept the population of foxs down, but now the population can increase allowing farmers crops to be invaded by more and more foxs and livestock being killed by foxs too.
Anyhoo fox hunting stillhas a 2 year phase out remember so its not baned as of now :P
Just my 2 cents.

you still kill them but as Dave says, in a more humane way rather than chasing them for a long period then being brutally killed by dogs
We live in a democracy.
A ban on Fox Hunting was in the Labour Manifesto.
There have been various votes on this in favour of a ban.
Public opinion is in favour of a ban.
We are not, IMO, imposing our opinion on others, we are mearly carrying out a promise to the electorate and reacting to public opinion, something that politicians are often criticised for not doing....

I think Labour are in danger of losing votes because of this than gain them, tbh.
The vast majority of opinion called for a ban, so there is little swaying of opinion or votes in this case. The votes lost will be country folk who voted Labour and will now switch to the pro Hunting Tories.
I always say that there is more to politics than Tuition Fees, Hunting and Iraq, and it is fundamental issues such as schools and education that will have the final say on how people vote
