Former European Parliament constituency
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 Strathclyde East was one of them.
When it was created in Scotland in 1979, it consisted of the
Westminster Parliament constituencies of
Bothwell,
Coatbridge and Airdrie,
East Kilbride,
Hamilton,
Kilmarnock,
Lanarkshire North,
Motherwell and Wishaw, and
Rutherglen.
[1] From 1984 until 1999 it consisted of the constituencies of Cumbernauld and Kilsyth, East Kilbride, Glasgow Rutherglen, Hamilton, Kilmarnock and Loudoun, Monklands East, Monklands West, Motherwell North, and Motherwell South.
