What are the meta rules of the EP elections? | 22 comments (22 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

It fits on both points. I was mainly thinking about one-seat districts when placing it under point one, as then proportional distribution means nothing.

A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!

Re: In conclusion (none / 0)

I found one single one-seat district (in Poland).

Re: In conclusion (none / 1)

You found two:

DoDo:

smallest sub-national district in Belgium: the German-speaking region sends 1 MEP (the two main ones 13 and 8);
smallest sub-national district in Poland: ? In 2004, Bydgoszcz sent just 1 MEP (the largest districts sent 8).

A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!
