Axing MP's


I hope the Tories do reduce the number of MP's to below 600. There are too many, especially when there are now MEP's, AM's, SMP's etc.

It will be tricky and will require changes in the law but these can be done at the same time as electoral commission reforms re boundaries (which are deperately needed).

Come on Dave stick with it;

"David Cameron is drawing up proposals to reduce the number of MPs at Westminster by between 60 and 65, amid intense public anger over the abuse of parliamentary expenses. The Tory leader’s plan, which is expected to be a manifesto pledge, would involve an overhaul of constituency boundaries and require the scrapping of a long-standing rule that constituencies should not cross county borders." - Sunday Times
