Election '15

And it's the kind of place where you can have your voice roundly ignored by the ruling party of the day—especially if that ruling party is Labour.

In the run-up to the UK Election '15, VICE decided to listen to the de facto voice of the UK's bucolic wilderness: The Countryside Alliance, a group of quite posh people who love guns, dogs, and killing things with guns that dogs can fetch.
