The 2004 Elections to the European Parliament

Twenty-five years have passed since the first Euro-elections. The sixth elections to the European Parliament are marked by the participation of ten new states from central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe, the conclusions of the 2003-02 IGC on a constitution for the new Europe, referenda on the constitution and on accession to the EU and the Euro, amid deep division over the EU's external role in the wake of the Iraq war and subsequent relations with the US. This book includes results from all member states, together with full coverage of the campaigns, and the key political issues of the election.
