No, No I'm saying that the Green Party came fourth btw can you readSo you're saying that with 33% of the vote in the City, the Tories ended up with 66% of the MPs. And yet Labour - with 33% also, got no representation at all.

If they normalise the constituency boundaries, as the tories want to do, the greens will not get a look-in. Make the most of it Ms Lucas, nick all the pebbles you can stuff in your pockets, you won't be there very long.
At least 4 years if CMD?CMN get their way!If they normalise the constituency boundaries, as the tories want to do, the greens will not get a look-in. Make the most of it Ms Lucas, nick all the pebbles you can stuff in your pockets, you won't be there very long.
If they 'normalise constituency boundaries'?
What does that mean?
I think they are planning to make all the consituencies the same size WRT population and reduce the overall number of MPs in the process. The tories would only want to do this if it benefitted them - all the parties want changes which would benefit themselves.
it is currently strange that one seat might represent 60k while another 80k, so needs looking at whoever is in power. but the boundry changes are done by a third party (electoral commission?) to ensure its they arent blantantly rigged.
So you're saying that with 33% of the vote in the City, the Tories ended up with 66% of the MPs. And yet Labour - with 33% also, got no representation at all.
The Greens got 1% of the national vote, so where exactly should their seat be if not in Brighton & Hove? Not to mention the other five they were due according to your logic.
Exactly. I'm all for PR.
