As the title suggests how did Labour get away with it? Why didn't the other parties complain? Where we live is a LibDem seat however since the last election the boundaries have now been moved taking most of the "good" neighbourhoods and plonking them in the next door Labour super safe seat(10k majority) where all those LibDem/Con votes will go to waste. The existing LibDem seat now becomes a marginal.

Seems we've all been ripped off by the Labour scum.

Hopefully Conservatives will do likewise, as the number of MPs need cutting, so best to start with the safe Labour inner city seats, do these places really need 4 MPs, nope.
