The Boundary Commission for England has released the latest proposal for the IW’s two constituencies.

This is further modified from the previous proposal, offering an east-west split along the Medina to Newport that finishes at Luccombe Down.

Whilst this is good news and we will have a second MP, the boundary seems to be split along tighter demographic lines that might produce a predictable outcome.

You might argue this is good news, but if that outcome is always the same and we have a Conservative and Labour/Green/Alliance etc MP then our votes will effectively be neutralised in Parliament.

I wonder if it would be better to have the line drawn north to south-east from say Yarmouth/Newtown through Newport(split)to finish at Luccombe Down.
