Boundaries

And priorities:
“We’re getting close to a full-blown banking crisis in Europe,”
And:
"September is likely to be a defining month for the euro area’s destiny," wrote Julian Callow, chief European economist at Barclays Capital.

Strategists at JP Morgan, for their part, have pointed to ‘a growing sense that the crisis is reaching a climax’, saying that the ‘endgame on EMU [European Monetary Union] is approaching fast.'
But no fear our MP's are on the case:
Another, or possibly the same, unnamed 'senior Tory' source said (£):
“It has been really difficult to get MPs to focus on the big issues when all they want to know about is whether they’ll still have a seat. Some of the usual rebels could suddenly find themselves in trouble when they are looking to the party for a new seat or a place in the Lords.”
And that's it in a nutshell: no real concern about representation of the people or the disregard of natural geographical County boundaries, just a concern for their own skins.
