A map is IMO a bad idea, unless it's a non-geographical one like some 
newspaper (Telegraph?) did - otherwise you just can't see the urban 
areas, and as soon as someone signs up in the Highlands it looks like 
lots of Scotland is "done". There must be better ways of expressing the 
data.

There is no map currently that will be accurate.

Here's a map of the constituencies as they currently stand (pointless 
for this project, I would assume):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2005UKElectionMap.svg

Here's a map showing apparently the new constituencies:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2005UKElectionNominalMap.svg

But that map can't possibly include e.g. the amendments to the 
boundaries published this March:
     http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2009/uksi_20090698_en_1
So is wrong - perhaps at that scale that doesn't matter, but I haven't 
looked at how different that SI changes the boundaries...
