Yet another close Labour seat...a swing of 42 votes more would be enough for a sixth Con seat. The Tories would have been really really unlucky in the Eastern region under PR...weirdly unlucky.
EDIT - found minor error in my Hertfordshire totals. Con vote, total vote and total electorate overstated by 2700 each. Corrected. Seat distribution remains the same, but wouldn't be nearly as close.

Had a rethink.
East Central is dissolved. Waltham Forest goes with East (10), remainder goes with Central (13).
North West is also dissolved. Hillingdon and Brent go with West (12). Harrow goes with North (10).
No changes south of the river.

EDIT - Come to think of it, Wandsworth goes with South Central.

Bob Marshall Andrews getting as screwed as surely he is by the boundary commision?

Let's have a look at Kent constituency populations...
Ashford - 80K
Sittingbourne & Sheppey - 76K
Dartford - 74K
Sevenoaks - 74K
Maidstone & The Weald - 74K
Gillingham - 72K
Canterbury - 72K
Thanet North - 72K
Dover - 71K
Folkestone & Hythe - 71K
Chatham & Aylesford - 70K
Gravesham - 69K
Tonbridge & Malling - 68K
Medway - 67K
Faversham & Kent Mid - 66K
Tunbridge Wells - 65K
Thanet South - 63K
Average population roughly 71K. Let's say Kent keeps its 17 seats (although will it? Might lose one, come to think of it.)
The only constituencies really in need of redrawing are Ashford and Thanet South, perhaps Tunbridge Wells as well. No reason to change Medford, really.Dover and/or Canterbury will have to be changed because they're in between Ashford and Thanet South.
Of course, if they do abolish a seat then that's a different story.

[minionofmidas]

Am I right in thinking that the Brighton & Hove seats are in East Sussex and that Sussex Mid is in West Sussex? If not, please correct me now[/b].
Also, Sussex Mid looks sorta urban on the map. It doesn't have much surface area. What town is it?

doesn't make much sense at all. If anything it should gain wards from Gillingham which should gain from Sittingbourne & Sheppey. No reason to fiddle around with Chatham at all. What would the Earl of Chatham (aka the younger Pitt) say to that?
Unless of course they are abolishing a seat...

Not entirely sure if they're scrapping a seat or not. But remember, the Boundary commision isn't always logical...

Unless of course they are abolishing a seat...

The Unitary Authorities (except those in Berks) are treated as counties for purposes of defining constituencies.  The boundaries can be crossed for purposes of balancing population.  If a UA was anywhere near the ideal size, it could be given its own seat(s), even though an existing constituency might contained the former district and few wards of neighboring districts.   However, the boundary commission tended to apportion seats based on the old counties (including the new UAs).  If keeping the county and the UAs separate would result in more or less seats, the commission tended to cross UA boundaries.   (eg. a county with an electorate equivalent to 4.7 seats, plus two UAs each with an electorate equal to 0.8 seats, for a total of 6.3 seats, would probably be given 6 seats for the entire area, rather than 5 for the county and 1 for each of the UAs).

[minionofmidas]

What UA#s are there in Kent?
Also, what's the beef with Berkshire?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

What UA#s are there in Kent?

Medway Towns

You must be logged in to read this quote.

For some reason it was decided to abolish the county council and have all UA's.

[minionofmidas]

So, Medway is the only UA in Kent? How large is the UA?
Also, why not treat all the Berkshire UAs as counties?
Finally, got a link to a current highest-tier-local-government map for me?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Pretty big. It's Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Rainham etc.
