As duly reported in the Kilburn Times,the Boundary Commission are planning a dramatic carve up of Brent constituencies. This would lead to no fewer than five constituencies in Brent. It is a hangover from David Cameron who did a squalid deal with Nick Clegg to redraw the boundaries in return for electoral reform. Many Tory MPs are threatening not to vote the deal through in the Autumn because they are afraid of being removed from their seats. By now the population figures on which the whole exercise is based are hopelessly out of date so that there is a good case for simply dumping them and starting all over again.
Meanwhile a wholly separate process is underway for local boundaries.
