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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
'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)[reply]
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 _words^deeds 11:06, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per above. BMB YT 500000 (talk) 18:34, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
Oppose They are notable in their own right so should remain separate articles. Qazwsx777 (talk) 11:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
