In this day and age, with all manner of electronic communication available, I think the constituencies ought to be enlarged further to about 100,000 voters.
Any MP worth their salt can keep her/his finger on the pulse without having to be in constant attendance in their constituency.

I agree, 300MPs max, abolish all the devolved "parliaments" and replace all the councils with private firm to empty the bins. Save a fortune.
//replace all the councils with private firm to empty the bins. Save a fortune.//
So these private firms will empty the bins for free?
The USA seems to manage fine with 435 Congressmen and 100 senators.
Question Author
"So these private firms will empty the bins for free? " - no but it will be a lot cheaper than having 60+ "Councillors" having meetings about themselves and stealing exes. Have a day off daniel!
I am doubtful that MPs will vote for this proposal.

// abolish all the devolved "parliaments" //
No. Abolish the UK parliament and introduce a devolved English Parliament (preferably in Birmingham or Manchester).
Don't start with the insults.
Question Author
you mean break up the UK gromit? No UK government? right oh! the devolved "parliaments" are Knoo Laba folly, we need less government not more.
TTT,
If we close the Westminster Parliament and open a smaller England Parliament, we will have less.
What is wasteful is having a MSP and an MP representing the same area. Scotland should look after its own affairs. And so should England without Welsh, Scottish and N.Irish MPs tainting HofC votes.
Question Author
so who runs the UK in that scenario gromit? sure it's better to have 300 UK MPs and none anywhere else.
You can’t have it both ways: a uk with a Parliament and U.K. MPs or no U.K.
Question Author
I want it one way, a UK parliament, max 300, end of, very simple.
Do they though jack ? How much access do they get to their representative ? Bad enough in the UK. When was the last time you're MP asked for your opinion and you made a difference ?
YOUR !!!!!!!!!!
Question Author
OG, no offence, I have noticed you often have to correct yourself on here. Have you ever considered checking what you have written before pressing the button?
No offence, but have you ever considered not stating the blatantly obvious, and something that I clearly already do (most times), and which many others have thought it absolutely ruddy hilarious to suggest, presumably in the hope of annoying me further, before pressing the button?
