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.
