Abstract
For the Direct Elections, the United Kingdom has been divided into 81 Euroconstituencies. Of these 66 are in England, 8 in Scotland, 4 in Wales and 3 in Ulster. Except for the special case of Ulster, all will elect MPs on the first-past-the-post system. The final boundaries for these constituencies were announced on 24 November 1978. On 4 December they were finally approved by the Commons despite a last-ditch resistance of some 20 anti-Marketeers.
