Make gerrymandering illegal, it prevents true democracy.
On occasion there may be good reason to shift constituency boundaries. To do so with the express purpose of preventing the party in power being voted out democratically should be illegal as it prevents democracy working fairly and should be neither legal nor acceptable as a political strategy.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Boundary reviews in the UK are conducted by independent, impartial bodies. If you would like there to be a specific change to the process by which constituency boundaries are changed, you could start a new petition asking for that.
