We could vote Lib Dem and end up with a BNP MP - you want to tell a constituency that they just inherited the first BNP MP?

I suspect you'd need to replace constituencies with administrative areas similar to County / Borough Council boundaries. Don't think PR of any kind is really compatible with current constituencies.
No. Other constituencies don't change your vote. The PR system is implemented in how you vote for your MP. That's the system I am talking about anyway, there are others. Such as the one used in Scotland (i think) which has the current system and then top-up lists to redress an unbalances in the popular vote.
