I want a map of all electoral wards in the UK in a paintable format. There are some regions available (picrelated for example), but I've no idea how to put them all together.

Original is 1.2mb (from wikipedia), .gs doesn't allow over 1mb which is annoying.
Expand all images.

I'm sure the OS will give you one if you ask nicely. Failing that, I know they have released datasets which you could use to roll your own if you or a mate knows any GIS (the set you're looking for is called BoundaryLine).

Things you need to know:
1. Electoral divisions are usually the same from Westminster right down to district level, but there's no guarantee. However, they will almost certainly not match parishes, particularly not warded parishes.
2. You're going to need A2 to be able to make anything out without both a magnifying glass and a really super-fucking-high-resolution printer.
