European Parliament constituency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (176 words)
In five European Union Member States (Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy and the United Kingdom), the national territory is divided into a number of constituencies for European elections.
In Poland they may do so only at a constituency level, but seats are allocated nationally.
Currently, the German speaking community of Belgium are the most represented in the EU Parliament with one seat for their 71,000 population, while the people of Sardinia and Sicily are the least represented, with only one seat per 943,000 people.
