The government may well intervene to save face on a lot of it, who knows.
they need some kind of smoke screen to try to hide the fact that they want
to reduce the number of mps so its easier for a conservative vote to get
them elected, and need some diversionary measures.

The reduction in MP's is not to make it easier for them to get elected, it
is to save money for the economy.

(Admittedly, the associated boundary changes are to make it easier for them
to get elected, but they only need to do that because the previous
incumbents gerrymandered the constituencies to make it easier for *them* to
get elected. At least the new Tory proposals are objectively fair for both
sides.)
