I think most of the Highlands and Islands seats are lacking a population centre with at least 10,000 people.

I think he’s incorrect about that. I’m pretty sure that is true of Arundel & South Downs for starters. I’m sure there may be others

‘Buckfastleigh was in Totnes from 1885 to 1983 and again from 1997 to 2010. Between 1997 and 2010 it was in Teignbridge’

Thanks Pete, but I assume you mean it was in Teignbridge from 1983 to 1997?

Floating Voter you can’t be in the same constituency as me when Mel Stride is not in Westminster he seems to be all over Central Devon at events, on visits to schools and colleges etc. and holding surgeries, just take a look in the local papers.

@Floating Voter.

You’ll find that, along with every other MP he’s in Westminster during the week and doing surgeries in the constituency every weekend. Do you have a problem with this..?
