Could also try adding Labour/Green or even Labour/LibDem. No more or less silly than doing Tory/Brexit tbh.

That's fun! I did one (similar to a map I did a few years ago): How many constituencies do you have to travel through to get to the coastline? 1: 184 2: 129 3: 90 4: 86 5: 97 6: 50 7: 13 8: 1 (Hampstead & Kilburn) www.yapms.com/app/?m=48kv

If you defined the coastline as starting at Clevedon, I bet we'd be a lot higher.

I was under the impression that Coventry was substantially further from the coastline, what with being so close to the dead centre of Great Britain.

According to Ordnance Survey, the point in Great Britain furthest from the sea is Coton in the Elms, which is in the South Derbyshire constituency. Coton in the Elms is 70 miles from the Wash, the Dee estuary and the Severn estuary.

Coton in the Elms is 70 miles from the Wash, the Dee estuary and the Severn estuary. It's only about 3 miles from Coton in the Elms to the village of Edingale which is in the Lichfield district of Staffordshire in the West Midlands, which suggests the West Midlands / East Midlands boundary is pretty much in the appropriate place if you think it ought to be near the furthest point from the sea.

All main parties and independents have representation in the 4 wards.

Whilst the United States works out who has won, where and how, I have decided to start my 70 year summary of the United Kingdom's election results using information sourced from various websites, data dumps by Parliament and recordings of past elections on BBC Parliament starting with 1950. I happen to have Google Earth maps of Britain's constituencies which cover all the elections bar those from February 1974, October 1974 and 1979 and would like to know if anyone knows where I could either an SHP file of those boundaries or a KML / KMZ file.
If they are available in JSON format then I would need someone to explain how I change them into a file that Google Earth can read.
