What say will voters have in redrawing of the electoral map?

The government’s contentious legislation to reduce the number of MPs and introduce a new system for drawing parliamentary boundaries was passed in February 2011. It set out an ambitious timetable for final recommendations to be voted on by the House of Commons in October 2013, which required some fast work by the Boundary Commission for England (BCE) in particular, which has 502 new constituencies to design. Lewis Baston argues that the forthcoming Boundary Review won’t receive enough voter input to guarantee true legitimacy.
