Clegg is still going on about the constituency boundaries to change to equal sizes so its obviously something that will happen.

Are they going to make them smaller or bigger?

I can't see how anyone but Labour will win out of this. Or if that is supposed to be the point.

I.e. if they make the boundaries bigger than the inner cities will bleed into the suburbs. I have that problem now. I'm in a safe Tory seat because we are mostly Tories and vote that way. However my council district includes 2 major inner city areas with very high multi-cultural populations. So my council is always Labour.

Or if the boundaries are made smaller then this will mean much more seats in the inner cities which again will give Labour a bigger advantage in the cities.

I don't see what's wrong with grouping people with similar attritubutes and outlooks rather than size.
