Gerrymandering because the only basis for this change is picking a number which hurts the other party the most. 600 hurts Labour, 585 hurts Labour and Liberals and 500 hurts the Tories electorally.

The two Scottish isles get to remain outside of this at 22,000 and not much more because they are Liberal Democrat.

The ERS have taken the constituencies and bill and come up with binderies that fit the new rules.

For the first time, the right of public appeal has been withdrawn.
