Moving closer to my tongue-in-cheek suggestion that, as there is no language in the law regarding the size of the Isle of Wight constituencies, surely one constituency within the mainland deviation and one extra-tiny constituency is more in keeping with the malicious spirit of the law than balancing the electorates of the two undersized Wight constituencies. We'll get them there in the end.  |

Satirists would be proud of the stuff about giving Brighton Pavilion access to the sea. I am pleased though that there have been some sensible changes in this region, including those I suggested in Sussex and Kent. It's a shame that most of the other regions have spent the last few months just twiddling their thumbs.

All looks ok - apart from the inexplicable decision to rename Lewes and Uckfield 'Lewes and West Wealden'.

I was amused that one of the reasons the BCE gave for this split was to give Caroline Lucas a sea view. She had actually been making the augment that it was unjust that a Brighton constituency had no sea view. Seems the BCE agreed 😂😂 The Brighton North seat would have also had no usable internal transport connections so it would have been unviable anyway. |

The Reading West constituency is quite bad. There's also that orphan Surrey ward in the Windsor seat; admittedly this is not a place I'm familiar with, but it seems really inelegant. I think there were better proposals for Berkshire posted on here. And then there's East Oxfordshire, which I think is one of the worst proposals in the whole country. There was no shortage of comments from the Bicester area pointing out the problems with it. |
