I hate to keep posting about the election, but I saw this after following links posted by diffrentcolours and really had to post it. It's a red/blue US map by county, and it's... really quite alarming.
applez has a link to a sit that crossreferences that with other sources based on votes cast... it's a lot more purple.
And as Mr JDC points out, it's also about population density. If you look at his map link, areas like London look small but have a lot of people and seats.
Likewise, a good two fiths or so of the scottish population live in the west/central belt.
