Prior to its uniform adoption of
proportional representation in 1999, the
United Kingdom used
first-past-the-post for the
European elections in
England,
Scotland and
Wales. The
European Parliament constituencies used under that system were smaller than the later regional constituencies and only had one
Member of the European Parliament each.
The constituency of Cheshire West and Wirral was one of them.
When it was created in England in 1994, it consisted of the Westminster Parliament constituencies of Birkenhead, City of Chester, Crewe and Nantwich, Eddisbury, Ellesmere Port and Neston, Wallasey, Wirral South, Wirral West, although this may not have been true for the whole of its existence.
