DON’T believe what you read about David Cameron opposing any changes to the way we elect our MPs – because nothing could be further from the truth.

In fact, the Conservative leader plans to cull the number of MPs in Merseyside and across the North, to secure a Tory majority in England for a generation.

What’s astonishing is that Labour is sleepwalking into this disaster, having waited too long to scrap the first-past-the-post system that will allow him to pull it off.

Under Mr Cameron’s plans, around 65 – or 10% – of Britain’s MPs would disappear, as he takes advantage of the expenses scandal and the anger it unleashed.

In the Commons last week, he explained which MPs would be culled – and it won’t be those in Tory Surrey.

Instead, he will target Labour seats in the North, and particularly Wales, with the fewest electors.

Mr Cameron said: “At present, some constituencies have twice as many voters as others, which puts a premium on some votes.

“Is it not time to ask the Boundary Commission to redraw boundaries to make them all the same size? At the same time, should we not be reducing the size of the House of Commons?”
