Actually, I'd far rather we devolve powers to the councils and cut the number of MPs that way.
Members of our national legislature should ideally be representing their constituents as a whole, with local issues being handled by those closer to the people.
We are something of an aberration in the amount of case work for individuals our MPs handle, which is part of the justification for there being so many of them.
