None of this is news, or at least new to anyone who takes even the vaguest interest in British politics.
The basic facts, truths and reality are indisputable.
Metropolitan urban constituencies are smaller in terms of numbers of people eligible to vote than small town and rural constituencies. This is a fucking fact.
This means that under FPTP you need less votes to win a metropolitan urban seat than you do to win a small town or rural seat. Fucking fact.
For ages the Tories have been murmuring about reorganising constituencies so that they have a much more similar number of eligible voters. This would make a vote of more equal value wherever it is cast.
This is, of course, a terrible assault on democracy.
