Tyne South and Wear (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: Sets the listen address and port in some weird way.
gollark: You send datagrams with no guarantee of receipt or anything, and you maybe get back datagrams.
gollark: Ports? Yes. But not streams or something.
gollark: No it's not. UDP is datagram-oriented.
gollark: It also seemed like I did have to bind still, or it did slightly more nothing. Maybe the multicast APIs are just particularly accursed somehow.
