Tyne 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: What would the least terrible way to get the (English) sentence surrounding a position in a string?
gollark: (unless it does and I haven't noticed)
gollark: How come the standard library's `re` doesn't have anything like `findAll` but returning the *positions* of each match?
gollark: I ran my program through `valgrind` to check if it was horribly leaking memory (it doesn't seem to be). It says `Uninitialised value was created by a stack allocation at 0x33DD0A: renderToHtml__rZvmxUK6kmA9c1R4XvQQuAw`, should I be worried?
gollark: I was worried about performance but it seems basically fine.
