50~ MPs for 5 million people

2019-09-27 17:36:58 UTC  

too many

2019-09-27 17:37:10 UTC  

Scotland should be given 1 to encourage them to leave the Union

2019-09-27 17:37:29 UTC  

then once the supreme court finds it illegal to then take the matter to the European court and have the European court overrule the uk supreme court

2019-09-27 17:37:36 UTC  

50 MPs is about right for 5 million people, but devolution was a mistake

2019-09-27 17:38:09 UTC  

so yorkshire should have 50 MPs?

2019-09-27 17:38:18 UTC  

Sure

2019-09-27 17:38:20 UTC  

Why not

2019-09-27 17:38:23 UTC  

There are 5 MPs in manchester and 2.7m live there

2019-09-27 17:38:26 UTC  

They can take Scotlands MP's

2019-09-27 17:38:34 UTC  

650 MPs, 70m people

2019-09-27 17:38:36 UTC  

yes

2019-09-27 17:38:49 UTC  

Very roughly 1 MP per 100,000 people

2019-09-27 17:39:42 UTC  

Yes, Lizard, nearly half the country have gone full-retard

2019-09-27 17:40:46 UTC  

You know

2019-09-27 17:40:49 UTC  

I stand corrected

2019-09-27 17:40:51 UTC  

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
