I do not aim for this to be a politically biased site – in my view they are all liars and make false election promises which thereafter they often fail to keep.
For those of you who are non UK resident, we have here 2 main political parties – namely the Conservatives and Labour. The Conservatives (Tories) form the current government with a majority of MPs, and Labour is in opposition.
The Tories have been in power for 12 years,following the General Election in May 2010.
Many people now consider it is time for a change.
There will almost certainly be a General Election where citizens vote for a government in 2024.
Each party has an area associated with animal welfare – and here are the links:
Conservatives – About Us | Conservative Animal Welfare Foundation
Labour – https://www.labouranimalwelfaresociety.org.uk/
The Conservatives have promised a lot – and then failed: England: Here We Go Again – Government Bullshit Promises On Actions ALREADY Making Their Way Through Parliament Which Would Have Given Animals More Protection. – World Animals Voice
After Brexit, we were promised legislation to ban the export of live animals for slaughter and further fattening. Despite personally being involved in a government consultation; at wich I personally presented over 50 A4 pages of evidence as to why live transport should be banned; the Tories have now pulled the plug and are not moving on with this – see last link for more.
CAWG says:
We have been disappointed by moves to drop the long-promised Consultation on animal welfare labelling, and the discontinuation of the Kept Animals Bill (which included an end to live exports for fattening and slaughter). While we remain supportive of the Government’s approach to deliver these measures through alternative legislative vehicles, we fear not all of these can become law before the next General Election.
Maybe not as disappointed as you will be at the next General Election !!
We now wait for Labour to move forward with the issue – animal welfare is a big vote winner – the problem is some political parties do not recognise this.
As I previously said, this site is not politically biased; I attempt to proide info and some links, as I have done here, and then individuals can further research as required.
