Kelsall's MEPs

The 736 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) are elected once every five years, the most recent election being on 4th June 2009. The UK is represented by 72 MEPs and is split into twelve electoral regions, of which the North West Region is represented by 8 MEPs. Kelsall sits within the North West Region, so these 8 MEPs are effectively representing the residents of Kelsall. The voting system used in the UK for European elections is a convoluted form of proportional representation, and is well described on the website of the UK Office of the European Parliament.
