How might the new Parliamentary boundary rules work?

A detailed study is out from the British Academy which takes an expert look over the planned new system for drawing up Parliamentary boundaries. Its conclusions generally concur with the views of those on both the administrative and political sides of electoral administration who I’ve been talking to recently about the new system.

That has been in preparation for some work I am doing with the English Liberal Democrats and Campaigns Department to coordinate the party’s boundaries work. It will be kicking off with a meeting at the Liberal Democrat Liverpool conference with representatives from the different English regions, Scotland, Wales and the Campaigns Department.

(The legislation for the new boundary rules also has the provisions for an AV referendum next Spring. I’ve written more about the AV referendum here.)
