| | Chartist - Whatever happened to One Member One Vote? |
 | | Enthusiasts for membership democracy have scrutinised with growing concern changes in the rules for selecting candidates for the European parliament, the Welsh and Scottish Assemblies, the new London mayor and Assembly, and now the current NEC consultation document on the selection of Westminster MPs. |
 | | Under arrangements designed to produce gender equality, at least 34 of the 69 on the list have to be selected for constituencies, plus another 28 on the additional member list, meaning that only 7 will fail to become candidates. |
 | | The introduction of proportional representation for the Euro elections in 1999 means a new selection system for candidates, since these will no longer be elected by Euro constituencies but from a regional list. |
