Gibraltar And The European Elections

EDM number 1489 in 2008-09, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 14/05/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Elections and European Parliament.

That this House notes the great enthusiasm demonstrated by Gibraltarians in exercising their right to vote in the European elections as part of South West England constituency; notes with admiration that in 2004 the turnout at 60 per cent. was nearly double the UK average; acknowledges the battle that Gibraltarians fought for their right to vote at the European Court of Human Rights; commends the level of political awareness and eagerness to express themselves democratically; and hopes the high turnout tradition will be recognised and influence the wider European electorate.

This motion has been signed by a total of 28 MPs.
