Electors vote for a single party, not for a candidate. Votes are counted in a series of rounds, and each time the first listed candidate for the winning party is elected. See below. On polling as at 27 April (YouGov) the Eastern Region would elect: 3 Brexit Party 2 Labour 1 Conservative 1 Change UK The asterisked candidates are likely to be elected.

  • Democratic Audit: European Elections 2019: What Will Happen in the East of England Region? Page 1 of 6
    Democratic Audit: European elections 2019: what will happen in the East of England region? Page 1 of 6 European elections 2019: what will happen in the East of England region? Traditionally this is a Conservative region at Westminster elections. Yet the East of England is strongly Eurosceptic and UKIP came top here in the last European Parliament elections in 2014, although the Tories hung on (just) to three seats. The Brexit Party now look certain to take over the UKIP vote and comfortably come first: on current polls they are guaranteed three of the region’s seven seats, and possibly one more. The latest polling indicates that Labour and the Liberal Democrats look assured of a single seat each. So the main uncertainty hangs on just how dominant the Brexit Party vote will be, whether the Tories’ slump means that they lose all of their seats here, and whether the Greens can pick up a seat. With voters able to cast only a single vote for a party list, the Democratic Audit team reviews likely outcomes for the parties and the main potentially electable candidates. Norwich cathedral. Picture: MemoryCatcher / 3041 images The East of England region juts into the North Sea and covers East Anglia down to the northern fringes of London. People here voted 56.5% to 43.5% for Leave in the Brexit referendum. Yet the area also includes some anti-Brexit cities such as Norwich and Cambridge. Last time UKIP won 35% of the vote and gained three MEPs (two of whom subsequently defected to other parties).

    The European Elections of May 2019 Electoral systems and outcomes STUDY EPRS | European Parliamentary Research Service Kai Friederike Oelbermann and Friedrich Pukelsheim PE 652.037 – July 2020 EN The European Elections of May 2019 Electoral systems and outcomes This EPRS study provides an overview of the electoral systems and outcomes in the May 2019 elections to the European Parliament. It analyses the procedural details of how parties and candidates register their participation, how votes are cast, how valid votes are converted into seats, and how seats are assigned to candidates. For each Member State the paper describes the ballot structure and vote pattern used, the apportionment of seats among the Member State’s domestic parties, and the assignment of the seats of a party to its candidates. It highlights aspects that are common to all Member States and captures peculiarities that are specific to some domestic provisions.

  • Report for Bawdsey Parish 2019
    Report for Bawdsey Parish 2019 2019 was a memorable year full of diverse happenings including extreme weather events, the latter a reminder of the vulnerability of small coastal villages in this era of global warning. Two spates of burglaries in November have compounded this feeling of being at risk. Three elections this year reflected the current political uncertainty, and continuing austerity has been felt in the withdrawal of visits by the community policeman from the Woodbridge Safer Neighbour Team and in the need for the parish council to pay Suffolk CC for Highways works. But community feeling is strong in this small village of 195 households (which also comprises the hamlet of Shingle Street a mile north of Bawdsey) and the year has been punctuated by numerous community events. This report includes for the first time a paragraph about farming in the area. New rock armour shoring up the sea wall at East Lane. View towards Shingle Street Coastal Matters: Bawdsey is very vulnerable to coastal erosion both at Bawdsey Quay at the mouth of the Deben and at East Lane. A local Coastal Erosion Measuring team has been measuring the extent of the erosion at Bawdsey Quay over the past six years and feeding the information into a national data base. It appears the shingle is being moved across the mouth of the estuary on to the Knolls and causing a narrowing of the channel, posing a risk to sailors entering and exiting from the river. A link to satellite imagery of the inlet over the last year with accompanying blog can be accessed at https://suffolkinlets.wordpress.com/2019/12/18/a-year-in-the-life-of-the-deben-inlet/ The sea wall at East Lane was damaged during last year’s Beast from the East and earlier this year the remains of the stock of rock armour was used to shore up the coast.
