[edit] Earlier constituencies in the UK

I seem to remember earlier and rather different Euro constituencies in the UK. The existing constituencies date from 1999? Laurel Bush 15:58, 7 October 2005 (UTC).

Euro elections in the UK were first-past-the-post in single-member districts until some point in the late nineties, yeah, so there were a great many constituencies that vanished when they went to list-PR by region. -The Tom 20:12, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Constituency populations?

Can we get some population stats for each constituency? It would be interesting to see how many votes are needed for an Maltese MEP compaired with a German MEP.

[edit] Some work done

I researched the French population figures, added the figures up for the five states with constituencies, and generally tried to give a hand. ナイトスタリオン ✉ 12:31, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Map

Is someone able to make a map fo the EU showing sub-constituencies? So we have an exact map of all styles of constituencies to base election results on. I can usualy mess with maps but when it comes to drawing new borders I'm useless. - J Logan t/c: 14:31, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Euriopean Union Constituency

There is an error for the UK Map. That is the English Map, Please add Wales, Scotland and Nothern Ireland on that page.

Only England is divided into constituencies. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are each a single constituency. ... Seabhcan 10:40, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ireland names

Are the Irish constituencies really called "East" etc, with no country name? Arising from discussion about dab links for Euroconstituency names at Talk:Northern_Ireland#NI_disambig, I was surprised to find East (European Parliament constituency), which isn't mentioned at East (disambiguation).

[edit] Germany?

"In Germany political parties are entitled to present lists of candidates either at Länder or national level."

What does this mean in practice, exactly, since the country is one constituency? --Jfruh (talk) 22:06, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
