		This is a list of the 646 constituencies currently represented in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom Parliament, as at the 2005 general election.
		Constituency boundaries are subject to regular review by an independent Boundary Commission, usually once every 10 to 15 years, to keep the electorate of each constituency as close to the national average as is reasonably possible.
		Today, constituencies in England are mostly subdivisions of administrative counties, with each constituency being comprised of a number of whole wards (for the purposes of the Boundary Commissions, unitary authorities, metropolitan boroughs and London boroughs are treated as separate administrative counties).

	Scottish Affairs, Denver; 2005 General Election in Scotland (online article)
		In addition, since local council wards form the building blocks of constituencies and general election votes in wards are not available, local election results have to be used to estimate the electoral effects of different areas moving between constituencies.
		The general pattern of constituency variations in turnout is most effectively described by correlation coefficients which measure the strength of association between turnout and variables indicating the socio-economic characteristics of constituencies and the electoral context.
		On the other hand, where the coefficients are significant, the pattern of support across constituencies for the Liberal Democrats is similar to the Conservative pattern, although it is interesting to note that the strength of the Church of Scotland is not related to the size of the Liberal Democrat vote.

	United Nations Reform - Roberta Blackman-Woods MP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Incidentally, the group got the impression at the UN that the UK Government were very highly regarded because of their efforts to push forward not only the central emergency response fund, but the reform agenda more generally.
		It is a 15 member panel, and the UK is ably represented by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
		Feeling quite moral and upright, I replied that the limit in the UK Parliament is only £250 per gift, but I had the ground cut from under me when the American deputy ambassador replied that it is only $250 for American politicians - so, in America, they have even higher standards than us.

	Hill & Knowlton UK Election Watch 2005
		The periodic changes to parliamentary constituencies south of the border are on their way, but will not occur until the election 2009/10 so for now the number of seats in the Commons will be reduced from 659 to 646, with the figure required for an overall majority falling to 324 seats.
		The Boundary Commission of Scotland's work in reducing the number of constituencies now means that electorates in most seats have increased to the average size of electorates in England, at least for the time being, and goes someway to answering the critics who point to Scotland's disproportionate presence in the UK Parliament.
		Some sitting Members of Parliament, faced with the prospect of a contest with parliamentary colleagues to become the party's candidate in a new seat, decided that discretion was the better part of valour' and chose to stand down.
