Welsh MPs to be reduced by a quarter by Tory government ... 23:05 - Sep 13 with 1732 viewsKilkennyjack

Certainly seem keen to split up the union sooner rather than later .... Less influence for Wales, less reason for london to think of Wales in its decision making, makes the Welsh Government more influential, and perpetual English Tory rule from London. And all without Europe if we ever do Brexit. Sounds like a bad bad thing to me anyhow.

Beware of the Risen People

Isn't the point that the new constituencies are all going to be representing the same number of people?

Which suggests that Wales is over represented at the moment?

I don't disagree with your points re Tory rule and Brexit - as you know I made exactly that point at the time of the vote when I expressed surprise at Wales voting out!

Why does Wales need 40 MP's if it has an Assembly?

Can't have it both ways.

The USA have 435 in the House of representatives and 100 in the Senate compare the size and population of the USA compared with the UK and we have 635 MPs over populated profession should cut it down to about 150 save the tax payer a fortune!

Never knew getting old would happen so quick!

Wales is massively over represented in Westminster at present.

It's just a matter of making constituencies proportional will make
no difference at all.

There are around 650 MPs far to many so trimming it down by
7.5% is a good thing.

Yes ''Less influence for Wales, less reason for london to think of Wales in its decision making, makes the Welsh Government more influential, and perpetual English Tory rule from London. And all without Europe if we ever do Brexit''.

I heard Plaid are all for it, when you think about it, it might help hasten the end of the British State.

Total opposite if you really thought about it.

You despicable lot with your lack of sympathy? Spare a thought for poor Stephen Kinnock M.P who might lose his seat. Spare a thought that the Brexit vote has denied him future employment in the EU also. Spare a thought that the only career option available to him now might be to become made a Lord like his father!

Don't worry. Cardiff Bay will take up the slack. They want more AMs, and on higher salaries as well. They are vastly overworked at the moment building their City State. They need help mun!! ;-)

More A.M's? Now that would really add insult to injury in an extremely profound way. I reckon many a self-serving careerist politician is absolutely gutted that fast-track road that once lead to EU parliament employment has been closed off. That's why I reckon there had been so recrimination and anger from certain politicians?

That's it in a nutshell.

Their workload will also be trebled because they'll have to do all the things the unelected buerocrats used to do.

I'm still not really sure why we need both an AM and an MP. Wouldn't it make far more sense to have them based in Cardiff most of the time and then in London when they need to debate UK issues? Same for Scotland & NI.

This was a super BBC In Out Time podcast about the 1832 Great Reform Act. Apparently at the time time Manchester and Birmingham didn't have an MP whereas Old Sarum (an uninhabited hill in Wiltshere) had 2 MPs.

Numbers and ratios aside for a second, anyone who thinks the Tory party are attempting this for any other reason other than keep themselves in power ad infinitum is surely a tad deluded. They serve no one but the Corporation of the City of London, which exists solely to launder money from international criminals and to siphon public money into tax havens. Big business and international finance leave nothing to chance. Do we really need any other example of controlled opposition other than Blair?! Yet we'll still argue and bicker amongst ourselves. Divide and conquer isn't new, and if it ain't broke...

Every Government everywhere does stuff to stay in power.

Yes - or full home rule.
Ideally independent within Europe, like all other European nations.
No to English Tory rule for Wales.

Ask Ireland how independent they feel when they can't even set their own tax laws.

The idea that Wales would be any more "independent" within the EU than they are now is laughable.

Also ask Ireland if they truly believe they are independent why they went running with the begging bowl wanting £70 billion in handouts including £15 billion directly from the British tax payers.

They refuse to put up corporation tax from 12.5% but then want the rest of Europe to pay for the running of the country due to them not having raised enough tax,you could not make it up.

It's great to say we want to stand on our own two feet,but when the shite hits the fan do us all a favour and accept your responsibilities and stop wanting to be bailed out by your neighbours either that or make the likes of Apple Pay more than £50 per £1million they make in profit,but it's obvious they would prefer the British,German tax payer fund the running of the country not Apple who have a £150 billion cash surplus laying in tax havens.
