Labour 'could lose 24 seats' after constituency boundary change
Political analyst Lewis Baston says marginal constituencies such as Harlow, Stevenage, Great Yarmouth and Carlisle will become more inclined towards the Conservatives
Katie Ghose, chief executive of Electoral Reform, said: “The constituencies which saw the biggest drop are largely student seats and deprived areas — groups which are already under-represented. The areas with the biggest rise are largely wealthier areas. This patchy picture means electoral registration, and the number of parliamentary seats representing each area, is getting more unequal by the year.”
