Electoral Boundaries.

To a UKIPite like me, the fact that electoral boundaries are unfair doesn't really carry too much significance BUT I always like to be on the side of justice wherever possible.
The Boundary Commission accepts that there are unfairnesses which need to be dealt with.
Problem is - for rather complex but nonetheless accurate reasons - the Lib Dems recognise that these would work to their detriment. Labour would lose significantly as they have enjoyed the fruits of these anomalies for decades so the Tories could potentially gain 30 seats under a more equitable system (Inasmuch as FPTP systems can ever be fair.)
So. I am going to have a little wager with readers that the Lib Dems will scupper all the plans for boundary changes. It will involve a certain dishonesty and broken promises as they will claim that when they agreed to this in the original coalition agreement it was linked to the UK implementing AV. Well. They lost that vote in a referendum. My bet is that they will now backtrack in a disingenuous manner.

There Is Certainly No Such 'Forgiveness Requirement' For A Court Judge.
