2004 European Parliament election in Gibraltar (original) (raw)
- European Parliament elections were held for the first time in Gibraltar on 10 June 2004 as part of European Union-wide elections. Although part of the European Union, Gibraltar had never before voted in European Parliamentary elections, in part due to its small electorate of just over 20,000 which would cause Gibraltar to be over-represented by about 30 times if even a single seat were to be assigned. This disenfranchisement applied by the United Kingdom was successfully challenged before the European Court of Human Rights in 1999. As a result, from 2004 Gibraltar was included by the United Kingdom within the South West England region for electoral purposes. Spain took a complaint about Gibraltar participating in EU elections to the Court of Justice of the European Union, objecting to the enfranchisement of Commonwealth citizens and the creation of a combined electoral region, but its case was unsuccessful. None of the main Gibraltar political parties contested the election, so voters chose from United Kingdom party lists. However, Lyana Armstrong-Emery of the small Reform Party had a place on a joint list with the Green Party. The Conservative Party polled over two-thirds of the Gibraltar vote, with no other party exceeding 10% support. This was in large part due to the perception that the Labour Government in Britain had "betrayed" Gibraltar by attempting to negotiate a constitutional settlement involving joint sovereignty with Spain. This arrangement was rejected overwhelmingly by Gibraltarians in the 2002 sovereignty referendum. The Conservatives were perceived as being unequivocal in their support for Gibraltar's continued British status. In addition, both the leader of the Conservative Party, Michael Howard, and his deputy, Michael Ancram, flew in to rally support. Before the election, the local Conservatives mounted a vigorous campaign. (en)
- Las elecciones al Parlamento Europeo se celebraron por primera vez en Gibraltar el 10 de junio de 2004 como parte de las elecciones en toda la Unión Europea. Aunque forma parte de la Unión Europea, Gibraltar nunca antes había votado en las elecciones al Parlamento Europeo, en parte debido a su pequeño electorado de poco más de 20.000, lo que haría que Gibraltar estuviera sobrerrepresentado unas 30 veces si se le asignara un solo escaño. Esta privación de derechos aplicada por el Reino Unido fue ante el Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos en 1999. Como resultado, desde 2004 Gibraltar fue incluido por el Reino Unido dentro de la región del suroeste de Inglaterra con fines electorales. España presentó una queja sobre la participación de Gibraltar en las elecciones de la UE ante el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea, objetando el derecho al voto de los ciudadanos de la Commonwealth y la creación de una región electoral combinada, pero su caso no tuvo éxito. Ninguno de los se presentó a las elecciones, por lo que los votantes se basan en las listas de partidos del Reino Unido. Sin embargo, Lyana Armstrong-Emery del pequeño tenía un lugar en una lista conjunta con el Partido Verde. El Partido Conservador obtuvo más de dos tercios de los votos de Gibraltar, y ningún otro partido superó el 10% de apoyo. Esto se debió en gran medida a la percepción de que el gobierno laborista de Gran Bretaña había "traicionado" a Gibraltar al intentar negociar un acuerdo constitucional que involucrara la soberanía conjunta con España. Este arreglo fue rechazado abrumadoramente por los gibraltareños en el referéndum de soberanía de 2002. Los conservadores fueron percibidos como inequívocos en su apoyo a la continuación del estatus británico de Gibraltar. Además, tanto el líder del Partido Conservador, Michael Howard, como su adjunto, , volaron para reunir apoyo. Antes de las elecciones, los montaron una vigorosa campaña. (es)
