Reply #8: It's impartial [View All]

The Boundary Commission (which sets the boundaries) is non-partisan; as populations chage they consider different parts of the country, anybody can state their views (all political parties, any interested locals), and they will try to find a reasonable path taking population into account.

It seems to me that we have many more non-partisan bodies, whereas in the U.S. the best is normally bi-partisan. Even politicians seem to be able to act in a non-partisan manner, the Lord Chancellor is a member of the Cabinet, and yet he appoints Judges (technically the Queen does) without reference to politics.
