Re: I'm a floating voter, tempt me.

I don't know whether the Tories saying they'll have a free vote on fox hunting will be much of a vote winner for them.

The huntin', shootin', and beatin' brigade, will already be voting 100% Conservative.

It's the middle Englanders they've got to attract. The ones that voted Blair in three times, and they have decidedly wooly and liberal views, when it comes to makin cute li'l animals bleed on their pretty furry bodies.

As others have said, there would be much more attractive promises on issues which would be free votes. Such as stopping a total smoking ban, leaving the United Statees of Europe, or pulling all troops out of war zones.

I hardly think a free vote on fox hunting will sway many people to vote, either way.
