The decision shouldn't be made based on population, but on whether there
would be a significant benefit. A Scottish group could be much more
effective in Scotland than a UK group. The same isn't true of London.
Londoners have a reputation for forgetting the rest of the country exists,
but they don't object to it.

One solution to that is to actually have some

An approach that gives you a real headache when someone makes the same
request for London (on population grounds it makes sense). There is at
the present time nowhere near the the level of activity for that kind
of split to make sense. Even if we did have the numbers slits work far
better if they cover areas that everyone in that area can access. A
group that covered everything from Gretna to Thurso makes little
sense.
