No fair???

A review of parliamentary boundaries, which has been ongoing for some time now, is due to report shortly.  It will reduce the number of MPs from 650 to 600 and redraw the constituencies so that, as nearly as possible, each constituency has the same number of potential voters, and so each vote is "worth" the same.  How could you possibly argue against that?  And yet, just about everybody other than the Conservatives are doing so.  An analysis of what is likely to happen shows that of the 50 seats which will disappear altogether, 10 to 15 will be Tory seats, but 25 to 30 will be Labour, and as a result of the redrawing of constituency boundaries many reasonably safe Labour seats are likely to  become marginal.  So not surprisingly Labour are having a moan.  Of course. what they fail to acknowledge is that for some quarter of a century, they have had a built-in advantage at every general election in that a Labour vote has been "worth" considerably more than a Conservative one.  What goes around, comes around, folks.
