Kerr surprisingly defeated the Conservative incumbent, Patricia Rawlings, and was elected as MEP for Essex West & Hertfordshire East (then comprising the Westminster constituencies of Brentwood and Ongar, Broxbourne, Epping Forest, Harlow, Hertford and Stortford, North East Hertfordshire and Stevenage).
At the June 1999 European Parliamentary election, with voting on the basis of proportional representation throughout the United Kingdom, Kerr was at the top of the SSP's party list for Scotland's seven European seats but the party's share of the vote was too low to secure his re-election as an MEP.
The June 2004 European Parliamentary Election was no better for the SSP than five years earlier and Kerr's share of the vote at the Kilmarnock and Loudoun constituency in the 2005 General Election slumped to 1.9% (833 votes).
