If you go far enough into the file (which appears to be without line breaks, so somewhere on line 1... You'll see: "arcs":[[[7533,1255],[-1,8],[0,4],[2,3],[-1,8],[2,2],[-2,2],[-1,0],[-1,1] ..... which I think is the geometry (arcs have a start point and then x-y deltas).
Support for geometries like these may be coming to OGR, I think curves were also discussed. Using the converter here seems the best way forward.
Following the info from the original source of this file I see someone has already done the conversion for us: https://github.com/martinjc/UK-GeoJSON contains admin boundaries for various UK electoral regions, as plain geojson and topojson. Sadly none of this affects the outcome of the election :( Barry
