Rejected petition Reduce number of MPs in UK Parliament
More details
The number of MPs representing Scotland, Wales and Northern Island in Westminster should be reduced to the level of the number of MEPs representing those countries, because those countries have their own Parliament.
Furthermore, MPs not representing constituencies in England should not be allowed to debate and vote on issues specific to England.
