East Midlands (European Parliament constituency)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
East Midlands is a constituency of the European Parliament. It currently elects 6 MEPs using the d'Hondt method of party-list proportional representation.
Contents |
The constituency corresponds to the East Midlands region of England.
- Nicholas Clegg, Liberal Democrat
- Christopher Heaton-Harris, Conservative
- Roger Helmer, Conservative
- Bill Newton Dunn, Conservative (1999 - 2000), Liberal Democrat (2000 onwards)
- Mel Read, Labour
- Phillip Whitehead, Labour
- Derek Clark, UKIP
- Chris Heaton-Harris, Conservative
- Roger Helmer, Conservative
- Robert Kilroy-Silk, UKIP (2004), Veritas (2004 - 2005), (Independent)
- Bill Newton Dunn, Liberal Democrat
- Phillip Whitehead, Labour (2004-2005; died December 31, 2005)
- Glenis Willmott, Labour (appointed on January 1, 2006 to replace Phillip Whitehead)
In August 2005, four of the MEPs for the region (Clark, Heaton-Harris, Helmer and Whitehead) sent a joint letter to President of the European Parliament Josep Borrell to complain of Kilroy-Silk: "He seems to have done little or no work as a constituency MEP for the East Midlands. This leaves five MEPs to do the work of six and the electorate have been short-changed". They went on to complain that Kilroy-Silk was not "fulfilling the pledge he made on becoming an MEP, to serve the electorate of his region" and to call for him to "either do the job for which he is paid, or get out and leave it to those who can." Such a complaint is unprecedented and Kilroy-Silk refused to comment on it; the European Parliament does not have any power to expel a member and Borell has taken no action.
