2001 election
I found this nice map of the 2001 election, with the colours of the parties (the Lib Dems are green for reasons of clarity) in proportion to their electoral strength in that constituency (so most seats are a reddish purple).I'm not totally sure that in a winner takes all system it makes a lot of sense to show it this way, though the idea is to show that the country is not so divided as it looks on a normal red/blue/yellow map. However for that really it should be a a cartogram, like the map you get from the 'make your prediction' over at this site. However this is all petty carping.
