Who did that poll

I'd ask for a new one but it's obvious who they all are.

EDIT: Why no Women's Equality Party? ****ing sexist pig.

Plus, I don't know if animals deserve to be treated in a humane manner. There are animale standards that are more suited to their relationship with man.
As Trollheart says, it is cruel, but it's the class thing that bugs me the most. You have to be rich and well-connected to go foxhunting, and back in the day it could be very disruptive of rural life: if the fox ran through your humble vegetable patch, the hounds would follow and then the horses would gallop through as well. It's that arrogant display of privilege that makes people hate it more than other forms of hunting imo.

I was kind of wondering if those were real parties since I'm pretty clueless about UK politics but it does seem like you guys have three main parties along with all the others.

Yes, for decades there were effectively only the three parties - Labour, Conservative and Liberal - being left, right and center respectively.
