Sorry but it's not a lottery: if it were the link between how hard things are for kids and where they live would be random. But it's not. True, there are some poorer places where things aren't too bad. But overall there's a significant correlation between living in a poorer area and poor provision.

I think it leads some people to assume you can simply reallocate voters within the bloc when I don’t think that’s entirely true (there are interdependencies of course).
