    Yes, there are far too many 'safe seats' but the reduction in MP's will not change that, it will only create a couple of new ones. Many people in the current constituencies never have a chance to see their MP's and many MP's never get around to visiting areas of their patches. With larger constituencies all you will get is more MP's who are conversant with their parties dogma but have no idea of local issues from one boundary to the other of their constituency.

    AV will not solve any of the problems, if anything it would reduce turn-outs as enough cannot be bothered to vote for one so how many more would not turn out if they thought they had to put them in order? It would not matter that you could still vote for just one, the perception would be there.

    Any government established on 2nd, 3rd or 4th place votes could never claim to have any sort of mandate for anything and the cross party slanging matches would replace debate even more than they do now.
