Always the same. Look at the outrage about the increases in council tax.The people will blame the councils not the national government and if anyone does try to point the finger at the government then ministers will be lined up to accuse councils of ineffiiciency and waste.
Lets see what happens.
If he cheats us, he will lose all of his gains.
And don't try and spin it, contrary to opinion, we're not stupid. We will know!
Yep. With this majority the tories will push through the boundary changes. To give themselves an advantage next time.He won’t need all of his gains from the (normally labour voting) idiots, the boundary changes do that. We need electoral reform.
Wow, this graph is staggering. A huge difference between how our own governments treats the NE and how the EU does. WHy do more people not know of this?And yet the different priorities of the EU is clear.View attachment 108
Only that's not true. That's the ostensible reason, but really they just want to gerrymander the districts so they're guaranteed to win. The only way to give votes equal weight is with proportional representation. The next thing they'll be after is photo ID to vote.....The boundary changes are driven by 2 items:
1) A reduction in the number of MP's down to 600, driven by the expenses scandal where thieving MP's were fiddling their expenses (personally I think 500 MP's would be too many). - Or are the they now trying to bin this reduction?
2) People moving around means that periodically constituencies need to be changed so that the number of voters is reasonably equal in all, so that all individual votes have an equal weight.

That's the intention.It will still result in more seats for the Tories most likely
