Itchen, Test and Avon (European Parliament constituency)
Prior to its uniform adoption of proportional representation in 1999, the United Kingdom used first-past-the-post for the European elections in England, Scotland and Wales. 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.

gollark: systemd does have problems, but at least unit files aren't init scripts...
gollark: I found out that its telnet interface was horribly secured, so I got root access and poked around.
gollark: Actually, come to think of it, I have that one ADSL modem/router which is unused which might be running BSD.
gollark: I've never used any BSDs.
