European elections: The candidates
[/av_textblock]
[av_textblock ]
Voters in London will elect 9 MEPs on May 22nd, who between them will represent the whole city.
Unlike other UK elections, in the European elections you vote for a party (or an independent candidate) and the party decides which candidates get any seats it wins based on a list system. For more about the voting system, read this.
Here’s the full list as it stands per party in list order. I’ve put the more, how can I put it, “plausible” parties at the top, the rest are in alphabetical order. * = existing MEP. Click each party’s name for a link to its European policies.
