Jmho It's definitely not a vote winner,so why has she even brought it up? Again, jmho, but they know a lot of votes are involved in field sports so it's just lip service to buy a few more of those votes. Can you imagine any politicians wanting their name associated with the headline "MP X want to bring back killing defenceless deer and foxes with savage dogs" Can't see that happening in a month of Sunday's As I say, jmho Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think if you done a nationwide survey many more voters would be against than for hunting with dogs. And a lot of the pro-hunters will already be dyed in the wool conservative voters,so she's not winning many over but pushing a lot away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It seems too controversial an issue to be bringing up now for someone who wants more votes. But then so does the 'dementia tax' and the monitoring of everyone's internet use. The conservative's were destroying Labour in the polls until they started with all this stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Is spoiling or writing "none of the above" better than not voting at all?or doesn't it matter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGD 6,436 Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Always better to spoil your ballot if you're not happy with any of the candidates IMO, a record is kept of the number of spoilt ballots and it can be used to gauge dissatisfaction with the parties but if you just stay home you get lumped in with the folk who just can't be bothered.
