In 2023 final proposals to change Britain’s election map are set to be unveiled. These revamped constituencies will give more power to Britain’s more populated areas (especially the South of England). It’ll also give more power to the ruling Conservative party. So In this video, we’ll explain what’s happening and why the Tories picking up 10 new seats isn’t necessarily suspicious.

    some of the new propsed constituency boundary changes for Cumbria are ridiculous.
    putting Millom in the Barrow constituency is a good idea but dividing Workington into two constituencies and putting some of it under Penrith is crazy. also Seaton should remain in the Workington constituency because it is a lot closer to workington than it is to Penrith.

    This is why MMP is so much better. You don't even have to worry about having constituencies be evenly sized.

  4. @ShrunkedDude

    December 21, 2023 at 11:24 pm

    That's outrageous. England is getting too much say over the rest of us! No wonder we don't want to be in the UK anymore.

    At least in the USA each stay has the same amount of say as the other.

    I say that how it's based on registered voters is right, because no part of UK has an equal number of people that can vote, if 2 constituencies has 50,000 people but one has 10,000 eligible (most likely registered) voters, while the other has 40,000, it contributes to BIG DIFFERENCES between the Popular Votes and the Election Results, even if the turn out rates in both constituencies are the same. And especially that if you're not a registered voter, then you can't vote

    Gerrymandering at its perfection.
    Tories get more chances?
    Moving the goalposts to their advantage.
    Who would have thought it ?

  7. @MegaRockstar48

    December 21, 2023 at 11:24 pm

    The tories spent 1997-2010 working out how to keep power for themselves. They are the most corrupt political party in the whole of Europe!

    The one thing the US does better than the UK and in terms of representation every 10 years there should be a census in that sense is draws the new map for 10 years

    The conceversatist are getting rid of some of all the other parties while increasing their own, pretty clever

    December 21, 2023 at 11:24 pm

    8 and 2 fewer please. Yes I know someone or other said it's ok now but really it isn't.

  13. @TRISTANTHEGAMER

    December 21, 2023 at 11:24 pm

    I agree with changes however I feel like this could lead to even less representation for Scotland and Wales

  14. @adhamhthomson1941

    December 21, 2023 at 11:24 pm

    Yay, can't wait for Scotland to lose even more power in this shitty union

  15. @benjohnlockley

    December 21, 2023 at 11:24 pm

    They are not based on '2000 census data', no such data exists and even if it did it would not have been used to draw seats. Seats are drawn based on electorate data, not total population. There are many other inaccuracies also pointed out in the comments here. Really really poorly researched video.

  16. @Apexbossman

    December 21, 2023 at 11:24 pm

    There trying to creat a one party system

  17. @meh23p

    December 21, 2023 at 11:24 pm

    If you had proportional representation you’d have a much better democracy and maybe you’d even have avoided the Brexit debacle too. Just copy the New Zealand system.

  18. @jonathon3787

    December 21, 2023 at 11:24 pm

    I’m not a Conservative voter but I believe boundaries should be as fair as possible. To me, the issue isn’t the boundaries however so much as the system of voting. First Past the Post is not democratic, personally.

  19. @Koellenburg

    December 21, 2023 at 11:24 pm

    How about just getting rid of the "Winner gets all" thingy… solves the Gerymandering Issue in general. 😉

  20. @alberpajares4792

    MY apologies if didn't previously subscribed, didn't realise.., 😅

    They have my constituency Falkirk west on as to many people and also the constituency next to mine falkirk east where are we going to vote if they split they give a few parts of the town to north Lanarkshire completely different demographic or if it is to the opposite west Lothian that what it was like before and that caused trouble as well

  22. @kevinhunter3473

    December 21, 2023 at 11:24 pm

    Gerrymandering. It is what it is

  23. @peterebel7899

    December 21, 2023 at 11:24 pm

    British autocracy works out nicely.
    But is still not as well elaborated as the Turkish or the Russian is.

    December 21, 2023 at 11:24 pm

    Like Republicans here, British rightists can only win by gerrymandering and cheating.
