Abstract

The work of the Boundary Commission is discussed and previous work of Taylor and Gudgin is extended. The effect of the rules operated by the Boundary Commission on the political balance of individual constituencies is examined, and the various reports of the Boundary Commission are analysed. Most of the administrative areas within which parliamentary constituencies are defined have to be divided in such a way that there is bias against one of the two main parties. -J.Clayton
