All rights reserved. 1 | 18 European Parliament Elections 2014 1.0 Introduction This briefing is part of DeHavilland EU’s Foresight Report series on the 2014 European elections and provides a preliminary overview of the candidates standing in the UK for election to the European Parliament in 2014. In the United Kingdom, the election for the country’s 73 Members of the European Parliament will be held on Thursday 22 May 2014. The elections come at a crucial junction for UK-EU relations, and are likely to have far-reaching consequences for the UK’s relationship with the rest of Europe: a surge in support for the UK Independence Party (UKIP) could lead to a Britain that is increasingly dis-engaged from the EU policy-making process. In parallel, the current UK Government is also conducting a review of the EU’s powers and Prime Minister David Cameron has repeatedly pushed for a ‘repatriation’ of powers from the European to the national level. These long-term political developments aside, the elections will also have more direct and tangible consequences.

  • Green Transport Plan
    1 | P a g e With thanks to all the authors and main contributors to this work. Dr Caroline Lucas Caroline was the first Green MP elected, wining the seat of Brighton Pavilion in East Sussex. She is contesting her seat at the May general election, and while she is not in the Northwest, she has none the less pushed transport to the top of the political agenda with her Private Members Bill on rail, which calls for the railways to be put back into public hands. And for this we in the Northwest party want to thank her. Gina Dowding Gina is a Green County Councillor in Lancashire and a member for over 20 years. A graduate of Nottingham Trent University, she has been fighting for a better deal for Lancashire. Alan Francis Alan, who helped draft this document, has severed as the National Transport Speaker for the Green Party of England and is the Green candidate for the Buckingham constituency in the May General Election. He was chair of the party’s National Executive Committee for two years and has also been chair on both Milton Keynes Transport Partnership and Milton Keynes Rail Users Group, campaigning for the East West Rail Link, which will put Winslow back on the rail network. He is committed bringing the railways back into public ownership as well as starving to improve bus and rail services and cut fares across the whole country. Dr Daniel Gordon Daniel, a specialist on the politics of transport, is a Senior Lecturer in European History at Edge Hill University and a graduate of both Oxford & Sussex University.
