	PR for Westminster elections in Northern Ireland?

		North Antrim is so different in character from the Belfast constituencies that it is not proposed here to group them together.
		If North Antrim were included in the Western rather than Eastern electoral unit, not only would there be an elegant 9:9 split of MP's between the two, but also the constituencies in and near Belfast would have been conveniently grouped together.
