Conservative The Conservative Party proposed, in their 2010 election manifesto, to cut the number of MPs by 10% http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-19166125

Liberal Democrat he Lib Dems said in their manifesto they wanted a more radical cut in the number of MPs - from 650 to 500 - but only if a more proportional voting system was introduced to elect MPs. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-19166125

Respect Party Respect supports a large reduction in the number of members of parliament, calling for 'a parliament that is half its present size, where MPs are paid a wage in line with careers of equivalent responsibility. Their staff should be employed by the state and not by the MP themselves'. Source: http://www.respectparty.org/british-parliament/

SNP Along with our support for proportional representation, we support a large reduction in the number of members of parliament.
