On which basis it would be difficult to for an MP who represents the wishes of their constituents to vote to do anything other than keep the ban.

After the last election, my MP refused to rule out voting to repeal the Act. Possibly coincidentally a number of his more affluent donors/supporters were in favour of repeal.

Incidentally, as Stephen Bush in the New Statesman pointed out, foxes can already be shot so when May says she wants to “bring back fox-hunting” what she is actually saying is “I think you should be able to kill foxes by getting dogs to rip them limb from limb”.

That's what the 16% actually want and are going to be given.
