Campaigning in Blatchcombe

Returning to Blatchcombe today, the issues raised were trust in politicians, the NHS and the constituency boundary between Torbay and Totnes. Half of the electorate within Totnes live in Brixham, Blatchcombe and Paignton and the constituency boundary is decided by the Boundary Commission rather than politicians to ensure that are all of approximately equal size. An anomaly of the system is that Conservatives have an inbuilt disadvantage and need a significant majority just to win an equal number of seats in Parliament.

If you are not sure, just click on the map at the top of the diary map page and enlarge over your area to see on which side of the boundary you will be voting.
