The 2019 EU elections are likely to be the most consequential in a generation. Brexit has spurred nationalist, anti-EU groups across Europe, many of whom see the elections as a referendum on the EU's survival. Plus, the EU is still dealing with the fallout from years of austerity, together with the 2015 migration crisis and the subsequent far-right surge. Anti-establishment and nationalist parties are expected to make further gains, and could disrupt the way the EU works if they can find a way to work together.ref
When: Every 5 years, EU voters go to the polls to elect their Members of the European Parliament (MEPs). Candidates can either stand independently, or as representatives of one of their country's political parties.
Registration deadline: May.07.2019. You need to register for each EU Parliament election.
EU Elections 2019: May.23-26.
- If you live in your home country, you can only vote for the EU candidates standing for election in your own country.
- If you are registered and live in another EU country, you can
either: vote for candidates standing in your home country,
or: participate in the election of your host country and vote for candidates standing in that country.[1]
Number of MEPs: Each EU member state has a set number of seats, roughly proportional to the size of its population; the UK has 73. MEPs are elected in multi-seat regional constituencies. The UK is divided into 12 regions; each region has a set number of seats, roughly proportional to the size of its population; elected MEPs represent a particular region.
Who to Vote For
- This is a numbers game. Beg, cajole, bribe, or use brute force to get your friends, family, the shopkeeper, out there and vote.
- Look at the Candidate Lists for your Region, and note what position (ranking) your preferred choice is in. If s/he is 3rd or lower, there is very little chance they will win a seat. The d'Hondt system forces you to vote for parties rather than candidates; the two parties with the most votes typically end up with the most seats. See § Voting: the d'Hondt System on how it works; and see § MEPs by Region 2014-2019 for how the 2014-2019 MEP elections turned out.
- Check your preferred candidate's party's stance on issues that matter to you.
Brexit: Remainers are going to have to vote tactically. The danger is the vote being split between multiple parties. A #RemainAlliance of Greens/Independent Group/LibDems would have solved this problem, but instead they are playing party politics.[2][3] The LibDems and Greens want the proxy war and momentum to convince people they can get seats at a General Election. The Independent Group see this as a dry run. As for Labour, some MEPs support #Remain, others do not. Same goes for the Conservatives. See A strawman on EP election tactical voting for Remainers.
A moral victory is useless if Brexiters win, so put aside your angst. It is likely that Labour will spin votes for Labour MEPs as "a vote for a Labour Brexit", but Remainers needs to swallow hard and vote tactically. Same goes for LibDems: forget austerity and student fees for now.
Remainers need to work together to consolidate their vote in each area. For eg, if your region's dominant party is Labour, and you vote Green or LibDem, where your party support is under UKIP, you're gifting UKIP a seat. But if higher, you want more!
Some areas, like the SE, are so BluKIP heavy it needs a massive push. Indeed, to wipe out UKIP would be impossible without voting Tory. But pockets like London must push for Lab really hard.@AngryNorthernUK
Voting: the d'Hondt System
In England, Scotland and Wales the voting system is the d'Hondt system of proportional representation. In Northern Ireland, the system is Single Transferable Vote.[4] CGP Grey has an excellent animation which clearly explains STV.
Under the d'Hondt system, you vote for parties rather than for individual MEPs. The most important thing to note is that candidates are selected in order of their ranking, so if your preferred candidate is more than half-way down, it is very likely they won't win a seat.
- Each party submits a list of candidates, ranked in order of preference. The number of candidates cannot be more than the number of seats in a given region.
- The ballot paper lists the parties' names and their candidates, and any independent candidates.
- A number of Selection Rounds takes place; at the start of each Round, the party with the most votes wins a seat, and their current total is then calculated by (Total Votes) ÷ (No. of Seats Won + 1).
- When a party wins a seat, the candidate at the top of their list is selected.
- Selection Rounds are repeated until all seats are filled.
Example
- Total Votes: The votes for each party are added up; any party that has less than 5% of the total vote is eliminated. In our example, all 4 parties make it through.
- Round 1: Greens have the most votes, so win a seat; then 100,000 ÷ (1 seat + 1) = 50,000.
- Round 2: UKIP had the most votes at the end of Round 1, so win a seat; then 80,000 ÷ (1 seat + 1) = 40,000.
- Round 3: Greens came out top at the end of Round 2, so win a seat; then 100,000 ÷ (2 seats + 1) = 33,333.
- Round 4: UKIP had the most votes at the end of Round 3, so win a seat; then 80,000 ÷ (2 seats + 1) = 26,666.
- Round 5: Greens came top at the end of Round 4, so win a seat; then 100,000 ÷ (3 seats + 1) = 25,000.

European Parliament Political Groups
In the European Parliament, MEPs sit in one of 8 political groups, which include MEPs from all across the EU who share the same political affiliation. They do so because it gives them more political power by working together, ie. there is strength in numbers. See also Political groups of the European Parliament
