Conservative Party

Agree

Yes, this is a tradition that supports rural communities

Many Conservative party members support fox hunting with dogs as a tradition that supports rural communities. For example, in the 2017 general election manifesto, the party pledged to hold a free vote on the issue, which was seen as an attempt to appeal to rural voters who support the practice. However, this pledge was dropped in the 2019 manifesto, indicating a shift in the party's stance.

Disagree

No, this is a cruel sport which should remain illegal

Although there is a growing environmental and animal welfare consciousness within the party, traditionally, the Conservative Party has been less inclined to describe fox hunting as 'cruel' and to support its legal prohibition. The Hunting Act 2004, which banned hunting with dogs, was passed by a Labour government and faced opposition from many Conservatives.
