What the petition asks
There's currently a plan to reduce the number of MP's by "revising" the electoral boundaries (MP constituency seats).
The changes are not fair. More power will go to the remaining MP's & this is scary. We will permanently lose 50 MP's which will mean our votes matter less. Stop the changes.

If we have 50 less MP's, those new MP's who take over a neighbouring constituency will have more emails and more letters which they will probably not respond to. We'll have less chances to speak to our MP's. It will also mean less representation in Parliament for the British Public.The population needs proper representation.
