European Election 1999. Conservatives in the European Parliament. We're fighting to Win. The European Parliament is your voice in Europe. It is the only directly-elected European Union institution.
Elections take place every five years.
There are 626 Members from the European Union's 15 countries. The next European Elections take place on Thursday 10 June 1999. PR means that every vote counts. The votes for each party list or party candidate will be counted up, and then a number of seats will be allocated to each party proportionate to their share of the total vote. With PR, a new emphasis on regional campaigning will be needed.
