We all know that the UK's political system can be a bit odd at times, especially in how our constituencies are set up. So, in this video, we're going to look at some strange UK constituencies, and what makes them so unique.

This is very amusing as a Canadian. I work for Elections here. Our largest constituency is Nunavut with just over two million square kilometers, and around 37,000 islands. It is about the same size as Western Europe, and at just about the same size as Mexico. It only has around 33,000 people but you would not want to make it any bigger!

"The ballots have to be brought over from the Scilly Isles" is a very funny sentence.
Quite Scilly.

At this point the Chief Mouser should be our Designated Survivor…

also worth noting that if the GE was to happen tomorrow, Lee Anderson is predicted to finish FOURTH in the election behind Labour, Ashfield Independents and Reform UK.

Caithness and Sutherland constituency doesn't include any of the Orkney islands. You may be referring to Stroma, 2km off the North Caithness coast. It is now uninhabited and has always been a part of Caithness.

I always described UK politics as being like an OS that rather then coming out with a new version, it's just been patched to hell to keep it running.

So, those weirdnesses again:
1. The UK has islands.
2. Populations don't always live in neat 70.000 member groups.
3. Some constituencies field LOCAL candidates.
4. Some old tradtions get upkept.
I'm shocked and horrified at these revelations. Who would have thought that the UK has islands, landlocked on all sides as it is?

How am I only learning about the “Chief Mouser” today after 17 years 😅

You missed East Devon, where the independent candidate picked up about 40% of the vote.

Not sure what i expected but hearing a very English voice pronounce Lochaber is hilarious 😂

The Isle of Wight has always been underrepresented in parliament. That's why it's been spilt in two . Up until the next election, it's had five times the number of voters, then the smallest Scottish constituency. In fact, the person who has come second on the island often has had the second most votes of in britain.

It’s hard to describe how incredibly unworkable Ross Skye and Lochaber is like even if you’re any of the major town it would take you over 5 hours in a round trip to get to another major town if the consistency offices aren’t in your town and you wish to talk to your MP! Additionally if you’re in a village or even worse on one of the islands you could be looking at upwards of 12 hours to get there with ferries or if you’re stuck using public transport near impossible to get to see your local MP! This is then highly discriminatory to the disabled, the the poor, the elderly and anyone who isn’t lucky enough to be where your MP is based! Then meaning it’s highly unlikely the MP would be representative of issues from people over 3 hours away they never meet!

Orcadian here! Very slight nit-picking, it's not "The Orkneys" but rather "The Orkney Isles". No one on or around the isles will refer to the isles as the former.
(Although this is a very common mistake a lot of news site get wrong)

4:40 if that doesn’t show us that first past the post is the most silly thing ever, I don’t know what will.

The Isle of Skye is connected though - there is a bridge to the mainland that is free to use now.

A couple of points, Stroma and the Skerries are part of Caithness, not The Orkney Isles. They are also uninhabited so Highland Council doesn't have the problem that Cornwall has with the Scilly Isles. In terms of constituencies where independents are in second place you may want to look at East Devon, aka Exmouth and Exeter East, where an independent has come second in the last 3 general elections.

Please call it Orkney or the Orkney Isles/Islands... NOT "The Orkneys" same goes for Shetland

Isles of Scilly not Scilly Isles

I don’t see what’s weird about a cat having an official cabinet position. In my opinion, every government should have one.
