What can I and others in my position do about living in Conservative UK Parliament constituency strongholds?

My MP got over double the votes in my town. She's never getting ousted from her seat and she's personally told me she's loyal to the party over the people.

What can I do because I just feel my vote next month is meaningless.

Is gerrymandering a problem with UK Parliament constituencies?

So, I'm American, but I love studying British politics. In looking at the changes in boundaries of constituencies in Wales over time earlier today, I thought about the question of gerrymandering. Is it a major problem for Commons constituencies in the UK the way it is in many House districts in the United States?
