Proof of BBC Bias

I don't understand why more hasn't been made of the boundaries being changed to obviously favour Labour.

To a degree, the Tories did some Gerrymandering in their time (as it's called).

But what's happened in the past decade would make Robert Mugabe swell with pride. How can a party come a clear 3rd in the popular vote and yet still end up with more MP's

But yes, I agree with you - why are people so accepting of this.

.

Part of that was due to people disappearing because of the poll tax.

All those people who don't put themselves on the electoral role cause problems for the rest of us. Regardless of whether they can vote or not as this is why boundaries change.

The Tory vote tends to be very inefficient. Many of their safe seats are a bit too safe, particularly the true-blue wealthy rural constituencies. Also other less rural (but wealthy) seats they should be winning have tipped to the Lib Dems in recent years, eg Guildford and Richmond.
