Scotland's representation will by 2015 have decreased to 52, substantially reducing any future possibility of affecting a change.


Which, out of interest, is still too high a representation in parliament. I could present the figures but you would not believe me. Go and work it out yourselves.

Hint - Get the number of people in Scotland as a percentage of the number of people in the UK. Then get the number of Scottish MPs as a percentage of the number of MPs in parliament.

It may surprise you.

(I get it as 8% Scottish MPs and less than 7% of the population. See how you do.)
