  Hill & Knowlton UK Election Watch 2005
The periodic changes to parliamentary constituencies south of the border are on their way, but will not occur until the election 2009/10 so for now the number of seats in the Commons will be reduced from 659 to 646, with the figure required for an overall majority falling to 324 seats.
The Boundary Commission of Scotland's work in reducing the number of constituencies now means that electorates in most seats have increased to the average size of electorates in England, at least for the time being, and goes someway to answering the critics who point to Scotland's disproportionate presence in the UK Parliament.
Some sitting Members of Parliament, faced with the prospect of a contest with parliamentary colleagues to become the party's candidate in a new seat, decided that discretion was the better part of valour' and chose to stand down.

  Perth, Scotland   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Perth was the historic capital of the Kingdom of Scotland, as well as being the county town of the former county of Perthshire.
Perth has given its name to many other settlements around the world, most notably Perth, Western Australia (at the wish of Sir George Murray, Secretary of State for War and the Colonies, that the settlement be named after his birthplace as well as his parliamentary seat in the British House of Commons).
In the 12th and 13th centuries, Perth was one of the richest trading burghs in the kingdom (along with such towns as Berwick, Aberdeen and Roxburgh), residence of numerous craftsmen, organised into guilds (eg the Hammermen [metalworkers] or Glovers).
