Both ConservativeHome and The Guardian have undertaken surveys of the 'next generation of Conservative MPs'. One more fact about that generation emerged in the Boxing Day edition of The Times:
"A recent survey by the Countryside Alliance, a pressure group, found that of 120 Tory candidates in marginal seats only one was against repealing the ban and he said that he would abstain on any vote."
Sorry we missed that Countryside Alliance survey at the time.
