I was amused by the circumstances that lead to the Lords voting against any delay in the implementation of the ban - despite this seeming somewhat like turkeys voting for Christmas to be brought forward, it was actually an incredibly shrewd political move. Certainly the Tories might now enjoy better chances in rural seats in England.
It could all backfire on the pro-hunt movement though: If the Government decide to take them on, and win, Blair then enjoys the same boost that Thatcher did - defeating people who try to bring the country to its knees is a popular thing to do.
