This vote is cast for a political party and not an individual candidate on the list. Each political party submits a list of candidates in priority order. Parties win more seats (which are then allocated to the candidates on the list in priority order) according to the overall share of the vote the party receives. As MEPs represent the whole of London everybody who is eligible to vote in the capital will be voting for the same list of parties and candidates. This is how the London seats were allocated in the last election in 2009: Conservatives 3 seats (27% of the vote) Labour 2 (21%) Liberal Democrats 1 (14%) Green 1 (11%) UKIP 1 (11%). 19 parties or independents competed in the election in total.
