Watching MPs voting now on the Bill which would deliver a referendum on the Alternative Vote system, reduce the number of MPs, make all constituencies the same size and force Cornwall to surrender its historic political border with Devon - looks as if the government will get a majority of around 60. Details once Hansard has confirmed. I spoke to North Cornwall's Dan Rogerson this morning who told me that while he planned to vote in favour of the Bill at its Second Reading, the battle against a "Devonwall" constituency would now go to committee - but he was reluctant to speculate about how he would vote at the full Third Reading, should a pro-Cornwall amendment fail.
