Legal source for allocation of seats
[edit]Will the allocation in 2019 differ from that of 2014? Does the Electoral Commission decides this on its own?
The older decisions were:
- European Parliamentary Elections Act 1999 c. 1, section 1 and schedule 1 = new section 2 and schedule 2 to the European Parliamentary Elections Act 1978
- European Parliament (Representation) Act 2003 c. 7, section 1
- The European Parliament (Number of MEPs) (United Kingdom and Gibraltar) Order 2004 No. 1245
- The European Parliament (Number of MEPs and Distribution between Electoral Regions) (United Kingdom and Gibraltar) Order 2008 No. 1954
- European Union Act 2011 c. 12, section 16 (only change: West Midlands: 7 seats)

Requested move 4 February 2020
[edit]- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: Speedy close; revert to status quo ante. This RM is seeking to restore the article to where it was located until three days ago. A full discussion is not necessary to do this and this will prevent confusion about no consensus outcomes to any future discussion. Timrollpickering (Talk) 23:23, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
European Parliament constituencies in the United Kingdom (1979–2020) → European Parliament constituencies in the United Kingdom – There's no need for brackets. Yes, the constituencies won't be used anymore, but there are no others they need distinguished from. Unreal7 (talk) 22:26, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
Merging pages for individual EU parliament constituencies in the UK
[edit]- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
- To not merge on the grounds that the constituencies are independently notable with sufficient material to warrant separate coverage. Klbrain (talk) 20:50, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
As they are now defunct, unlikely to be expanded much in future and the places they represent already have their own articles I think it would make sense to merge the articles for the uk's 11 former EU parliament constituencies into this page.Llewee (talk) 14:59, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Personally I think that it is better to keep the individual pages separate as they are fairly lengthy as they are and would be rather unwieldy in a single page. Easier to find information you want rather than having to wade through other information on entities you are not interested in. Keith D (talk) 11:20, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose. There's sufficient material for individual articles and I agree that merging them all will create a overlong, unwieldy single page. Celia Homeford (talk) 12:15, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- 'Oppose. As noted there is sufficient material to keep the articles separate, and merging them would just create an unwieldily monster of an article. BitterGiant (talk) 15:19, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose All of them host full election results and MEP allocation revelant to each region. A merged article would be too cluttered and full. One region, one page, will be what readers are looking for and expect. doktorb wordsdeeds 11:06, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose per above. BMB YT 500000 (talk) 18:34, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose Even with defunct UK Parliamentary constituencies, the entire pages are kept and there's at least over 1000 defunct ones!
- Oppose I agree with others above, but the main issue is surely whether the subject is notable, and can we really imagine a parliamentary constituency of any kind that isn’t? Moonraker (talk) 14:49, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose They are notable in their own right so should remain separate articles. Qazwsx777 (talk) 11:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
