This didn't seem to get much news coverage when they were announced a few days ago - perhaps because this time they're not proposing cutting the number of seats overall*, so there aren't many MPs yelping that they could be out of a job and convincing their constituents to be angry on their behalf.
Under the proposals, my town of Chandlers Ford is set to go back in with neighbouring Eastleigh (where it was until about 30 years ago), which makes more sense than the slightly further Winchester (we're in Eastleigh Borough Council). It does move me from a marginal Tory seat (48.3% Tory to 46.6% Lib Dem, last election) to a safer Tory one - even with us in it.
*England gets 10 more seats overall; Scotland 2 fewer. These are due to population shifts. Wales is cut from 40 to 32, mainly because they had
fewer electors per constituency than England or Scotland. But when the Welsh changes are announced in a few weeks, I'm sure Welsh MPs will be livid at how Wales is being oppressed.
