SouthEast UK (EXC. LONDON) Tories control 92/102 seats why no majority?

[You kip if you want to...]

The Tories are dead in Wales, Scotland and the North. The Midlands is the traditional "swing" region.

Perhaps these seat reductions which come at the expense of mainly non-Tory areas will readdress that - that's what they're hoping, anyway.

Not as much as they'd hope. Someone's clearly not explained 'differential turnout' to the government. No boundary change will make voters in Liverpool Riverside get to the polling station at the same rate as voters in Tatton or Witney meaning that it will always take, on average, fewer voters to elect a Labour MP under a single-member constituency system like FPTP or AV.

Another reason why FPTP system is sooo stupid

Yeah, but the proposed Alternative Vote system won't fix this.

It's worth noting that in 2010 the difference between the two mass parties in that respect was negligible.

True, but it's always an issue that's pointed to. The problem of "average votes needed" worsened for the LibDems in 2010 though.
