Line 295:
* The supposedly sacred constituency is dismembered about every 10 years, at the behest of the Boundary Commissioners. Constituencies disappear, are created, renamed, or may have their political complexion transformed beyond recognition, without a single vote having changed. The irony of course is this havoc is wreaked because of the very existence of FPTP constituencies in the first place, and the unavoidable problem they create - creeping ''malapportionment''.
* The voters themselves are clearly indifferent. Survey evidence reveals that only about 20% of voters can name their MP, or their constituency.<ref>{{cite web |title=Audit of Political Engagement 10, The 2013 Report|url=https://doc.ukdataservice.ac.uk/doc/7373/mrdoc/pdf/7373_audit_of_political_engagement_10_report.pdf}}</ref>
* The contortions undertaken to "preserve" the constituency-link in hideous hybrid systems such as the German system, which eventually spun out of control as a credible system. "Preserve" them by ''halving'' their number and making them ''twice'' as large? Sounds logical.
