Debt ridden councils - who would have thought it would end like this?

Interesting view.

Different to what most think.

Look it up then.

Just fact checked my thoughts and most of the small constituencies around the north of England have been redrawn so they are broadly the same size by eligible voters.

So it’s up to people to actually vote.

New Boundaries 2023 Introduction​

The current constituency boundaries have been in use since 2010. Neither of the two previous boundary reviews (in 2013 and 2018) have been adopted and implemented.

In a written statement in March 2020, the government announced that it is going to restart the stalled programme of new boundaries for Westminster constituencies. This new review will keep the number of seats at 650 and not reduce them to 600 as had been planned by David Cameron's coalition government.

But the next boundary review will require new seats to be nearly identical in terms of the number of electors in each seat. The review has a very strict limit, and requires each new seat to have an electorate which was not further than 5pc lower or higher than the average.

The previous legislation also specified that further new boundary reviews would take place every five years. This new act changes that period to every eight years, allowing for two Westminster elections to take place using each set of boundaries.

The current boundaries were first used in 2010 (and 2005 in Scotland), and are now getting a little out of date. Regular boundary reviews are an established part of the electoral process and a new review would be due around now in any case. The reviews are conducted by the four independent Boundary Commissions for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and involve periods of public consultation.

This page contains description, analysis and predictions for the new 2023 boundaries as proposed by the four Boundary Commissions.

The Boundary Commissions published initial proposals between June and October 2021, with revised proposals in November 2022. Final proposals were published in June 2023.

The final proposals were approved by The Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023 on 15 November 2023, and the new boundaries will be used at the next general election.
