Members of European Parliament (MEPs)
The UK is divided into 12 regions and each region has
between 3 and 10 MEP's. Each MEP in a region represents
each person living there. For example all 8 of the MEP's
in the North West Region represent the people of Allerdale.
We last had European Elections in June 2009 and the next are
scheduled to take place in 2014.
The
UK Office of the European Parliament Office website lists
the 8 MEP's in the North West region, and gives their contact
details.
