This is the first chance I have had to post on this subject.
David Cameron has declared that after the next election he will submit legislation to reduce the number of MPs by about 60 from the present 650.
He will also ensure that the size of the new Constituencies are balanced to a fairly equal number of electors.
This will help level the electoral playing field between the two main parties. Currently the electoral system has become so unbalanced Labour can get a majority in Parliament even of they lose the popular vote by quite a large margin.
As a downside it may also result in more hung Parliaments but that is a price worth paying for a more level playing field.
Apparently it wont get through in time for the election after next but should be operational by the election after that. Largely this is because of the time it will take to draw up the new boundaries.
