How will this affect Bedlington? Good? Bad? No change?

Quote:

”North Tyneside and Wansbeck will cease to exist, while new constituencies will be created elsewhere to reflect population changes.

The BCE is under a legal obligation to propose constituencies within 5% of the electoral quota, meaning the number of registered voters for each constituency in the country must be between 69,724 and 77,062” (my underlining)

Procreation! That’s the problem! There’s clearly not enough of it in Wansbeck. Get that  improved and we can swing this the other way in 18 years!

Would this apply to Scotland by any chance - where they are vastly overrepresented in Westminster?  Isn't it something like one MP for twenty odd thousand scots?

As far as the contrivance formerly known as Wansbeck is concerned: people with get up and go generally do!  Plaudits to those brave individuals who slog it out all their lives.  They are most certainly the ones that deserve gongs, but are generally totally ignored by our self-serving establishment.
