Exactly Ken, its a complete dogs breakfast, as you say leave things alone get rid of the Boundaries Commission and save billions of pounds over the years, this keep swapping and changing is just another thing that's putting the General Public off politics all together because they just don't know where they are. Its hard enough to try explaining to people whats going on within the political spectrum without keep clouding the waters
