The Independent (September 14)
In Britain, the Boundary Commission has proposed cutting the number of members of parliament (MPs) by 50. The Independent believes “fewer MPs is a good thing.” If approved, the plan to move from 650 MPs to 600 would provide annual cost savings of approximately £12 million “a saving worth making in an age of austerity not expected to be over by the time the measures take effect in 2015.”
