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

2019-09-27 17:48:45 UTC  

They are basically on top of each other

2019-09-27 17:48:45 UTC  

Buzzfeed has devolved from simple nonsense to complete jibberish

2019-09-27 17:48:55 UTC  

There was talk of reducing it to 600. I think reducing it to 500 would be sensible and easier maths

2019-09-27 17:49:28 UTC  

ashton is OL6 and OL7

2019-09-27 17:49:47 UTC  

Ye

2019-09-27 17:49:52 UTC  

although it is a different constituency, but oldham is split into two

2019-09-27 17:50:06 UTC  

Oldham is prime territory for Brexit Party

2019-09-27 17:50:16 UTC  

OL postcodes are fucking shit for insurance

2019-09-27 17:50:25 UTC  

Oldham is ground zero for the peasants vs islamists

2019-09-27 17:50:29 UTC  

it is

2019-09-27 17:50:37 UTC  

I live in oldham, can confirm

2019-09-27 17:50:40 UTC  

There were actual riots/civil unrest there in 2001

2019-09-27 17:50:44 UTC  

Live in ashton

2019-09-27 17:50:46 UTC  

can also confirm

2019-09-27 17:51:00 UTC  

You should move to Northumberland countryside, Joshu

2019-09-27 17:51:09 UTC  

although its probably going to be chavs vs muslim defence league

2019-09-27 17:51:10 UTC  

I used to live in cumbria

2019-09-27 17:51:15 UTC  

But I came to manchester for work

2019-09-27 17:51:18 UTC  

I understand
