A lot of myths about Tories "equalising" constituences with 5% variation in registered electorate, & normally the 26,000 Scottish Highlands seat & 110,000 Isle of Wight seat are cited. But this review still leaves them outsized & 99% of seats are currently within 20% variation... 95% of seats are currently within 10% variation.

Why not 5%, I hear you ask- because the largescale disruption at each review is unworkable. The constituency link means an ability to re-elect an MP. But the knock on disruption of 5% means boundaries will chanhe your MP not votes
