    Taking it just as numbers would tell you one thing but look at where the constituancies are. It must be obvious that the concerns of the Orkney and Shetland islanders are going to be different to those of people living in North Cornwall. If we were just concerned with having a home base from which MP's could represent their parties working on numbers would be fine but we are not. People vote for candidates to represent their interests to government and, while they will (often out of habit) vote along party lines in the hope that that party will speak for their aspirations, they are voting for a person they hope will speak for their concerns relevant to where they live. All elected persons should owe their first alliagance to those who elect them. Above party or personal wants, that should always be their highest priority and consituancy bounderies should reflect this.
