Euro elections – what to expect in the South East

The South East is Britain’s biggest European constituency, returning ten MEPs. It is also normally one of the safest regions for the Conservatives, although the UKIP challenge may change this. In our latest preview of the forthcoming European Parliament election, the Democratic Audit team show that the Conservatives are likely to hold on to top place in the region, with a UKIP surge and Labour’s revival both challenging them all the way. Meanwhile, both the Liberal Democrats and the Greens hold onto vital MEP seats for them here, and will be looking to retain them.
