When the Tories win the election, will they redraw the boundaries as part of their MP reduction programme?

Without a doubt.

They will also instruct the Electoral Commission to draw those boundaries to more fairly distribute the population amongst them.

At the moment the Tories have to win far more votes to have a majority in Parliament than Labour do. Clearly this is unfair and disenfrachises a huge number of voters.

I'd like to think you guys are right but who really thinks the Tories are going to win with a clear majority???

Note recent playing with PR by HM Govt. A minority govt supported by the LibDems could keep the Tories out for a lifetime.
