Who the hell is Gerry Manderling?

[Valmy]

The current one, as of last month, is 25 and inherited property holdings worth £9 billion.

Good work if you can get it.

Ok that is an awesome beer label.

She had no idea who "The Loneliest Monk" was.

Delicious.

Yeah, no real differences, other than the fact that one is rural and the other is urban and those two areas often have largely different concerns.

What's that got to do with what I said? . Tyr is contending that parliamentary constituencies boundaries should be drawn around communities. He thinks rural constituencies represent communities but urban ones do not. I disagree. North Wiltshire is no more of a "community" than is East Ham. In fact rather less so.

I was commenting on your statement that with few exceptions " I don't think there's any real difference between rural and urban constituencies".   I am not sure how on can ignore the obvious differences.

I quoted the relevant part of Tyr's post I was responding to, so that the context was obvious. I'm sorry that passed you by.

I think you are ignoring obvious geographic differences to make your point.   It makes much less sense to group rural towns which likely have nothing in common in the same riding than city neighborhoods which are literally a stones throw away from eachother.
