Cotswolds
European Parliament constituency
European Parliament logo Created 1979 Dissolved 1999 MEP(s) 1 Member State United Kingdom Source(s) [1] Before uniform adoption of proportional representation in 1999, the United Kingdom used first-past-the-post for the European elections in Great Britain. 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 Cotswolds (sometimes called "The Cotswolds") was one of them.
When it was created in England in 1979, it consisted of the Westminster Parliament constituencies of Banbury, Cheltenham, Cirencester and Tewkesbury, Gloucester, Mid-Oxon, Oxford, Stroud,[1] although this may not have been true for the whole of its existence.
