Need the tories in so they can get rid of the hunting ban.
Feel they will leave gambling alone.

do you not feel there are slightly more important issues on which to decide which way you vote than the hunting ban?

Nothing more important.
No party can save the massive untold shite that we are in.

NHS >>>>>>>> hunting ban

(Imo of course)

NHS>>>>>>Education>>>>>>>100 other things>>>>>>>hunting ban

That said, I'm pretty apathetic about hunting as whether it's allowed or not has no direct effect on my suburban life. Presumably Typhoon has been somehow personally disadvantaged by the ban.

I didn't see the countryside alliance (or whatever they're called) coming out in support of the miners when the mines and the economies surrounding them were devastated in the 80s.  At the end of the day as Longy said, people will vote for the party whose policies directly affect them the most.

I know local councillors and party representatives who have support for the 'Super Casino' project coming back.

I would not expect much change to the tax structure either, it will be way down the line of priorities and the broader perception seems to be there is little to no value in funds generated anyway vs administrative burden.

true, but then why did Labour spend so much time banning hunting as opposed to dealing with other matters
