Introduction The 2004 European Parliament election was perceived by the Guardian newspaper as "Britain's most virulent anti-European result." Due to the continually escalating levels of Euroscepticism on the "sceptr'd isle" it follows that the openly anti- EU United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) would achieve its greatest electoral victory by playing to an increasingly hostile public.
Appropriately, the Labour MP Gisela Stuart, who acted as one of the UK Parliamentary representatives for the Convention on the Future of Europe, stated that "Jacques Delors is, unquestionably, one of the most successful Commission presidents," because of the substantial integrationist accomplishments that occurred under his watch.
It must be remembered that European Parliament elections in the UK are conducted via a proportional representation system where a voter chooses for a party on their regional list rather than a particular candidate.
