Youre right

2019-09-27 17:41:20 UTC  

Cities are the people underrepresented

2019-09-27 17:41:20 UTC  

you probably sit corrected to be fair

2019-09-27 17:41:41 UTC  

I don't think that's true either

2019-09-27 17:41:52 UTC  

well manchester has 5MPs for 2.7m

2019-09-27 17:41:54 UTC  

For example

2019-09-27 17:42:18 UTC  

Yorkshire and humber has the same pop ish as SCOATLAAND

2019-09-27 17:42:23 UTC  

with the similar number of MPs

2019-09-27 17:42:38 UTC  

Manchester has 27MPs

2019-09-27 17:42:40 UTC  

Devolution however

2019-09-27 17:42:42 UTC  

Was a mistake

2019-09-27 17:43:04 UTC  

Greater manchester

2019-09-27 17:43:16 UTC  

that includes places like stockport etc

2019-09-27 17:43:22 UTC  

I was talking about manchester

2019-09-27 17:43:56 UTC  

You know, im on a losing streak today

2019-09-27 17:44:00 UTC  

Constituencies aren't as simple as that

2019-09-27 17:44:06 UTC  

5 in manchester

2019-09-27 17:44:08 UTC  

but 500k

2019-09-27 17:44:17 UTC  

Even if you pick out of that list the constituencies you think are Manchest, then they're the same rough population each as the wider area

2019-09-27 17:44:19 UTC  

The stat I saw said "Manchester 2.7m"

2019-09-27 17:44:24 UTC  

but it meant greater manchester

2019-09-27 17:44:53 UTC  

Manchester is the actual city

2019-09-27 17:45:06 UTC  

with places including ashton under lyne, Oldham etc

2019-09-27 17:45:15 UTC  

making up the boroughs

2019-09-27 17:45:34 UTC  

So greater manchester is Manchester (The metropolitan borough)

2019-09-27 17:45:41 UTC  

and it's boroughs

2019-09-27 17:45:59 UTC  

However they are usually conflated which lead to my confusion

2019-09-27 17:46:06 UTC  

However the record is now straight

2019-09-27 17:47:05 UTC  

They often have a bit of a jerrymander when they change boundaries, but I'm fairly comfortable they're roughly the same size

2019-09-27 17:47:06 UTC  

greater manchester is the area around manchester

2019-09-27 17:47:10 UTC  

post industrial shithole

2019-09-27 17:47:15 UTC  

Greater manchester with manchester highlighted.

2019-09-27 17:47:20 UTC  

and manchester itself is a degenerate shithole, the actual city

2019-09-27 17:47:58 UTC  

Manchester being the Mxx pstcodes

2019-09-27 17:48:10 UTC  

Stockport SK, Oldham and Ashton OL etc

2019-09-27 17:48:23 UTC  

yeah, oldham is OLX XXX

2019-09-27 17:48:27 UTC  

There are probably too many MPs, tbh

2019-09-27 17:48:36 UTC  

So is Ashton Crag
