The boundary commission for England has been unnecessarily radical in its proposals, often ignoring local government boundaries. New constituencies may lack community cohesion and local loyalty

摘要

Last week, the Boundary Commission for England presented its proposals for newudconstituencies based on 600 rather than 650 parliamentary seats. Democratic Audit’s LewisudBaston undertook a parallel analysis in June, and while he finds some similarities, heudargues that the Commission may create tri-borough seats, orphan wards and the crossing ofudthe boundaries of upper-tier authorities and counties, which may lead to seats that have littleudor no community cohesion.
