1. Doesn't seem to affect my area much

I am close to the boundary between Oxford West and Abingdon, and Oxford East, and the previously proposed changes would have put me from the former into the latter, but the current ones don't.

I'm a little bit relieved. I would personally have ended up with a reasonable MP either way (Layla Moran vs Anneliese Dodds) but the previous proposals would very possibly have changed Oxfordshire's representation from 4 Tory MPs, 1 LibDem on the left of her party, 1 Labour to 5 Tory, 1 Labour. With good luck and good management, we are likely to stick with 'only' 4 Tory MPs under the current proposals.
