Talk:Apportionment in the European Parliament

Seats

The European Parliament will see 54 seats added (from 732 to 786) when Bulgaria and Romania join. The table provides 35 seats for Romania and 18 for Bulgaria, which, other MEPs staying the same results in 53 new MEPs, and thus 785 in total - where is the missing MEP? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.18.136.72 (talk) 22:52, 26 October 2006 (UTC).

It is only 785 MEPs, 53 newbies not 54. -JLogan 20:40, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

The EP's Constitutional Affairs Committee has ust approved proposals for the new parliament, which have slightly different numbers to here [1]

This has yet to be approved by the full parliament, Council of Ministers and it's all based on the Reform Treaty being ratified in time for elections too!

Rome is already complaining saying it shouldn't be based on number of residents rather the number of EU citizens. That would leave countries like Britain who many many residents who are, e.g. Pakistani nationals, with fewer seats. [2]

Merge the two tables?

I propose merging the two tables and making 1 (sortable) table. --Boson 15:39, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Did, been meaning to do it for ages. Was going to add population data in from the EP page and thought it pointless to do it twice. Put accession in there so can be sorted on that basis also. However I have a small problem, I can't find the code to stop the total and source info at the bottom being sorted like the rest of the data. Can anyone help?

Minimum three MEPs per constituency?

Quoth the article:

However they may not be divided in such away that the system would no longer be proportional, hence the Parliament's constituencies may have no less than 3 seats allocated to them.

This isn't true. Belgium's German-speaking electoral college elects a single MEP, and I believe that there's one in Poland that does as well. --Jfruh (talk) 19:25, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Leveling seat

I see no reason why a link to Leveling seat appears at the end of this article.--Bancki (talk) 11:58, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Misspelling "constituencies" = "constituencies"

This misspelling is in another article and I do not know how to do what needs to be done in order to correct it. Please correct it or indicate where in the codes is how I can correct it.

"constituencies" = "constituencies"

That was a typo in Template:Apportionment in the European Parliament Nice versus Lisbon. I have fixed it, though it may take some time (or a purging of the cache) until the articles are updated. Huon (talk) 23:51, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Number of votes per EU parliamentarian to get elected?

Is there somewhere a list with the 722 or so parliamentarians + number of people that voted for them in their national EU elections? Thy,

---

PS I'm from Belgium, so I know a bit where to look:

Charles MICHEL would become the President of the European Council since 2019, how many votes did he get in Wallonia/Belgium? I added the links as I can't find that number of votes anywhere. Sources: Sorry not in English but in the Belgian languages: https://verkiezingsresultaten.belgium.be/nl/election-results/europees-parlement/2019/rijk/223608 - I don't even see Charles MICHEL - I see MR- Mouvement Reformateur - liberal party in Wallonia: 475338 votes in total = 7,06% You have to know in what electoral district he participated, he lives in Namur - so: https://verkiezingsresultaten.belgium.be/nl/election-results/europees-parlement/2019/kanton/223586 - but he is not there, but the most votes to an MR EU Parliamentarian Candidate = CHASTEL Olivier: 3012 votes. So, probably Charles MICHEL became the President of the European Council with something around 3012 votes heuristically speaking. Hence, I think it would be interesting to have a wikipedia list with all the 722 EU Parliamentarians and EU Commissioners and the number of votes it took them to be elected. It can also encourage people to become candidates: it really doesn't take a lot of votes. There's other factors at stake too. Thank you, SvenAERTS (talk) 15:29, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
