	Isle of Wight - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Until the revival of Rutland, in 1997, it was the smallest county in England but it remains, with just one Member of Parliament and 132,731 permanent residents in the 2001 census, the most populated Parliamentary constituency in the United Kingdom.
		It also has a single Member of Parliament, and is by far the most populous constituency in the UK (more than 50% above the average of English constituencies).
		As a constituency of the House of Commons, it is traditionally a battleground between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats.

	Tiverton
		The hundred of Tiverton is described in Domesday Book under the head of Terra Regis, or land belonging to the king, held by several persons during the reign of Edward the Confessor as vassals of the crown.
		The town is pleasantly situated on rising ground between the Exe and Loman, and is well watered by a brook called the Town Leat, which rises about 5 miles north of the town, and was given, about 1260, by the then countess of Devon, for the use of the inhabitants.
		There is also a spacious market-place, erected in 1830, with a suite of rooms for assemblies, several dissenting chapels, a theatre, union workhouse, and bridewell, which is about to be pulled down, and a building on an improved plan erected in lieu of it.

	Legal Resources
		The workload of members within their constituencies has grown, as is illustrated by an explosive increase over the years in the size of their postbags.
		The semi-corollary of a high proportion of the constituencies being in 'safe-seat' territory is not merely that many voters pass their entire adult lives without ever voting for a winning candidate but that they also do so without any realistic hope of influencing a result.
		Nor does the respect in which Parliament is currently held, or the turn-out at elections, or the degree of commitment to the political process exhibited, particularly by the young, constitute a ringing endorsement of the present system.

	John Burnett MP Torridge & West Devon
		John Burnett, the Lib Dems MP whose Torridge and West Devon constituency will lose a huge area to the new seat, including the party's local headquarters in Okehampton, was dismayed by the changes.
		John Burnett, the Liberal Democrat MP for Torridge and West Devon, said: “The Conservatives were shortsighted in the extreme when they built this road, and we must impress upon this Government that there is a necessity to make the investment to dual it.
		John Burnett said “I and my predecessor have used Okehampton for the constituency office because it is a crucial link between what is effectively three distinct areas within the constituency: the Bideford area; the vast rural hinterland, including Dartmoor, of which Okehampton is the capital; and the Tavistock and Bere Peninsula area.

	The Parliament hour \| Samizdata.net
		There was the usual pep talk before the elections, which did not come out too badly as it was based on realistic expectations and the belief that Tony Blair should be expelled from the office, which is impossible to disagree with.
		Bearing in mind that this 22% figure is as a percentage of the actual employable UK population we are looking at a realistic combined bureaucracy at local government and at national levels of around 5,750,000 (look at the pdf in the ONS link above).
		I can't imagine the UK having a larger percentage children in its population.
