I think the Tories will un-ban hunting on principle whenever they are next in power - after an election in 2005 (unlikely) or 2010 (very Likely, I would say). However, due to the infrastructure required to run a hunt, it's unlikely there would be much in the way of hunting again if it has six years to die before being decriminalised.
Then again, there's always the possibility that the police will have a long-term problem actually preventing those who really want to hunt from doing so. Can we really expect to see riot police lining up against the Cheshire Hunt in the same way as they did against the miners in 1984?
