ANTI MPs OUT
29 Anti Hunting MP's ousted
Vote-OK Results............
29 anti-hunting MPs ousted
21 anti-hunting MPs left with majorities of less than 3%
9 pro-hunting MPs with boosted majorities
........All thanks to Vote-OK volunteers!Massive and unprecedented local campaigning by hunt supporters has contributed to the ousting of 29 anti-hunting former MP's. 3.4 million leaflets were delivered, 2.1 million envelopes hand-addressed, 55,000 posters erected and 170,000 campaigning man hours provided in a nationally co-ordinated initiative.
Charles Mann, Vote-OK national campaign director, said, "29 anti hunting MP's out, and 21 left with tiny majorities to get next time- this has been a huge success for hunting and an important boost for the volunteers who have participated in the campaign.
"With only 6 weeks preparation and no previous experience thousands of hunt supporters have been organised to campaign on a substantial and hitherto unseen level in modern politics. As a result they have shown that when enough people get involved in politics with a purpose and in an organised and focussed way they can, and have, made a difference.
"This has been the rehearsal, at the next election we will help ensure that this potent force is enabled to play an even greater role in securing an early repeal to the ban on hunting"
