Avoiding all the political posturing from Cherry&Shite, can anyone explain to me how, when our population is expanding, having fewer members of parliament is a good thing for democracy?

All I can see is cost cutting and screw the population. If it's such a good idea, lets just cut back to one MP for the whole country and save a fortune by not having elections either. Who'd have thought the Electoral Commission would support the old Communist Russian way of doing things?




FTR, that's not serious, it's meant as a counterbalance to Cherry&Shites 'politburo' remark, which if nowt else shows how little he knows about either political history or the state of the 2011 Labour party.

'if' we need more money? Where does this £1.1 trillion pounds come from?

Lot of 0/0 being spoken on this subject. Does it matter in the long term? Boundary changes are a way of life for each incoming government for their own ends. Let's get back to rugby on this forum and worry about what is happening to our beloved team. Much more important than boundary changes - let's be honest - whatever changes are made to the boundaries, you can put a pig up as a labour candidate in Leigh and it would still get elected.

No its down to greedy get rich Thatcherites, no the ordinary average working man... Don't try and blame the unions for something they didn't control, its the bankers, no one else... Try to remember that when your down the soup kitchen spouting the virtues of Thatcher, ultimately it was her values and believes that put you there.. Oh and I'm not in a Union, but try to remember they are elected to look after their members, even Thatcher couldn't ulimately break them, all she could do was destroy the industries they worked in.

No. I get a Labour MP anyway. Why would I vote?



Why don't we use the Northern Ireland system where they have six MLAs each? Everyone's a winner !!







Except when it comes to claiming expenses, obviously.

If you can't play nicely it's locked. This is a rugby league forum there are other places for political arguments go and spout the rubbish on those, especially if people are reverting to name calling like kids over a toffee.

Spoil sport.

It's called tough love
