hmmmm
Two quick things in response to your post:
1) Regardless of whether David Cameron supports the ban or not, the Conservatives have never said they would support its repeal. Your argument doesnt hold together - The Conservatives want a free-vote, Cameron personally doesnt support the ban, therefore they are "a party that supports fox hunting"? I dont get that. Maybe if it was Labour where policy and ideas are dictated from the top, riding over the views of the the party base.....
2) You say that you are particularly annoyed by the Conservatives wasting time on this. Hunting isnt mentioned once in the Conservative Party's poolicy section of their website, the promise of a free-vote has been made by William Hague in an interview to one magazine, and no one in our party is really talking about this. Labour on the other hand are producing videos, building websites and Hilary Benn is wasting his valuable ministerial time on speaking about this issue. And Labour are hardly the ones to talk about wasting Parlimentary time, let's be honest here!
Sorry to come across as so partisan, but I feel Labour have made this a partisan issue. I personally dont like hunting, but think any decision on it should be made at a local level and should not involve gesture politics, or introducing national laws to appease angry Labour backbenchers.
