UK PM May could revive major boundary review to boost majority in 2022 election
The Evening Standard quoted a British Minister, as saying that the UK PM Theresa May’s allies are increasingly confident she can bring “back from the dead” a major review of parliamentary seats that would boost the Tories’ chances of winning the 2022 election.
The Minister noted: “It is certainly not dead now, I think the DUP will be on board. However, there are a good number of Conservatives who are worried about what the boundaries would mean for their own careers.”
The upheaval would see Jeremy Corbyn’s seat axed and the overall number of MPs slashed from 650 to 600.
