Re: SNP to vote against repeal of Hunting Act

I understand that Scottish MPs will still get to vote on it, even if EVEL gets passed. However, English MPs may get a right of veto.

In some ways it would be more instructive to see the results of an English only vote on the issue, in terms of English MPs representing their constituents rather than their sponsors/donors.

The majority of people in Britain are anti-hunting*, so it will be a good mirror to hold up to the way democracy works here if MPs vote against the wishes of the majority of their constituents.
