According to the Daily Mail, the Conservatives are going to introduce a vote on if the fox hunting ban should be scrapped. This is terrible news for Liberal Democrats, since they're against the vote and I'm assume the news upset their voters.

"In a separate sign of the new Government's intentions, Agriculture Minister Jim Paice will be responsible for hunting and shooting - the first time country sports have had a dedicated minister for decades."-Daily Mail

It sounds like the vote won't happen till the majority of economic policy is brought out, which will give lobbying groups on both sides time to build their arguments.

    • How is this a bad thing? If you believe in democracy, then this is democracy in action. Or is it only democracy when you get the things YOU want?

      Hearing the country sports minister role was the most depressing part to read.

      plus at the moment, it sounds like the coalition is heading for more conservative lib dems, rather than a move of liberal conservatives. if that happens, i wonder how many voters the lib dems might lose.
