Prior to
its uniform adoption of proportional representation in
1999, the United
Kingdom
used first-past-the-post for the European elections in
England
, Scotland
and Wales
. The
European Parliament
constituencies used under that system were smaller than the
later regional constituencies and only had one
Member of the European
Parliament each.
The constituency of
Leicester was one of
them.
When it
was created in England in 1979, it consisted of the Westminster
Parliament constituencies of Carlton, Leicester East
, Leicester South
, Leicester West
, Melton, Newark
, Rushcliffe
, although this may not have been true for the whole
of its existence.
