Midlands East (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.

It consisted of the Westminster Parliament constituencies (under the terms of The Parliamentary Constituencies (England) Order 1970, which had taken effect at the February 1974 general election) of Blaby, Bosworth, Loughborough, Meriden, Nuneaton, and Rugby.[1]

gollark: There's an argument to be made for reducing server load elsewhere, but I kind of want the snooper to just pass through everything and leave filtering to clients.
gollark: All except traffic on channel 666, whatever stuff Anavrins blacklisted (by the way please don't blacklist it at the modem snooper level...), and obviously wired network traffic.
gollark: <@151391317740486657> That monitor actually has nothing to do with potatoplex, and just displays all modem/skynetv2 traffic.
gollark: Hey, that's *my* automatic potatoplexer.
gollark: It has *Vega 3 Graphics*!
