The European Parliament (EP) is the directly elected parliamentary institution of the European Union (EU). Together with the Council of the European Union (the Council) and the European Commission, it exercises the legislative function of the EU. The Parliament is composed of 751 (previously 766) members, who represent the second largest democratic electorate in the world (after the Parliament of India) and the largest trans-national democratic electorate in the world (375million eligible voters in 2009).
It has been directly elected every five years by universal suffrage since 1979. However, turnout at European Parliament elections has fallen consecutively at each election since that date, and has been under 50% since 1999. Turnout in 2014 stood at 42.54% of all European voters.
Although the European Parliament has legislative power that the Council and Commission do not possess, it does not formally possess legislative initiative, as most national parliaments of European Union member states do. The Parliament is the "first institution" of the EU (mentioned first in the treaties, having ceremonial precedence over all authority at European level), and shares equal legislative and budgetary powers with the Council (except in a few areas where the special legislative procedures apply). It likewise has equal control over the EU budget. Finally, the European Commission, the executive body of the EU, is accountable to Parliament. In particular, Parliament elects the President of the Commission, and approves (or rejects) the appointment of the Commission as a whole. It can subsequently force the Commission as a body to resign by adopting a motion of censure.
Crawley (pronunciation) is a town and borough in West Sussex, England. It is 28 miles (45km) south of Charing Cross (London), 18 miles (29km) north of Brighton and Hove, and 32 miles (51km) northeast of the county town of Chichester, covers an area of 17.36 square miles (44.96km2) and had a population of 106,597 at the time of the 2011 Census.
The area has been inhabited since the Stone Age, and was a centre of ironworking in Roman times. Crawley developed slowly as a market town from the 13th century, serving the surrounding villages in the Weald; its location on the main road from London to Brighton brought a passing trade, encouraging the development of coaching inns. It was connected to the railway network in the 1840s.
Gatwick Airport, now one of Britain's busiest international airports, opened on the edge of the town in the 1940s, encouraging commercial and industrial growth. After the Second World War, the British Government planned to move large numbers of people and jobs out of London and into new towns around South East England. The New Towns Act 1946 designated Crawley as the site of one of these. A master plan was developed for the establishment of new residential, commercial, industrial and civic areas, and rapid development greatly increased the size and population of the town in a few decades.
1983-1997: The Borough of Crawley, and the District of Mid Sussex wards of Balcombe, Copthorne and Worth, Crawley Down, Slaugham, and Turners Hill.
1997–present: The Borough of Crawley.
The constituency covers the whole of the town and borough of Crawley in West Sussex which includes London Gatwick Airport. Crawley borders Horsham in the same county on all sides other than the north, where it borders a part of East Surrey.
The Boundary Commission analysed population increase and recommended that no changes to the constituency were made for the 2010 general election so the seat remains coterminous with the borough.
History
Before the 1983 General Election, Crawley had been part of the Horsham & Crawley, Horsham, and Horsham & Worthing constituencies at times. Due to the growth of Crawley, which was a small town, into a substantial new town in the 1960s and 70s, the Boundary Commission took the decision to separate it from Horsham in 1983 and create a new seat. Labour majorities with comfortable victories in 1997 and 2001 suggested a safe seat, but the sometimes volatile nature of new town voters, especially in South-East England, made the seat highly marginal in 2005. Labour had a majority of 37 votes in the 2005 election, making this seat the most marginal in the UK. The 2010 election saw Henry Smith win the seat at the third attempt, beating Labour's Chris Oxlade by 5,928, on an (averaged two-party) swing of 6.3%.

Lawmakers will determine the fate of EU leaders from Tuesday onwards as the European Parliament convenes for the first time since the elections in June.

Hailing from the centre-right European People's Party (EPP), Metsola is a moderate figure who is well-liked across the political spectrum and is considered to have done a good job representing the Parliament's views. Thanks to her track record, her re-election by an absolute majority (50% of MEPs plus one) is a foregone conclusion.
The Left is reportedly interested in filing an alternative candidate, as they did last time in 2022. However, the alternative bid will be entirely symbolic.

Crawley Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located around 30 miles/48km south of central London, in the county of West Sussex, is the town of Crawley.
The name Crawley is believed to be derived from an old Saxon name from the 5th century - 'Crow's Leah', meaning a crow-infested clearing. In 1202 King John granted Crawley a market charter.
For several centuries it remained a very small town, registering a population of just 210 on the first census in 1801. Prior to this, Crawley had served as a coaching stop between London and Brighton for horse-drawn carriages.

The construction of a turnpike road between London and Brighton in 1770 allowed Crawley to prosper. The arrival of the railway would follow in 1841 in the form of the Brighton Main Line.
After the Second World War, Crawley was identified as a suitable location for a New Town, which was a programme to relocate those whose houses had been bombed during the Blitz. Hence as we see in the video, virtually everything outside of the High Street takes on a 20th century grid-like design. Queen's Square was opened in 1958 by The Queen herself. Crawley's population went from below 10,000 just after the war to over 100,000 today.

European Union Parliament LIVE: Roberta Metsola Re-elected European Parliament President
Lawmakers will determine the fate of EU leaders from Tuesday onwards as the European Parliament convenes for the first time since the elections in June. Tensions are high as the 720 lawmakers start their five-year term, with current European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's future in the balance. MEPs will kick off their work by electing their president for the next two years and a half. The frontrunner is a familiar face: Roberta Metsola, the Maltese politician who has led the institution since early 2022.
Hailing from the centre-right European People's Party (EPP), Metsola is a moderate figure who is well-liked across the political spectrum and is considered to have done a good job representing the Parliament's views. Thanks to her track record, her re-election by an absolute majority (50% of MEPs plus one) is a foregone conclusion.
The Left is reportedly interested in filing an alternative candidate, as they did last time in 2022. However, the alternative bid will be entirely symbolic.

Who is Roberta Metsola, the President of the European Parliament who was elected for a second time in July 2024? How was she chosen and what is her role?
Every two and a half years, the European Parliament selects someone to represent it when dealing with other EU institutions and the wider world. Parliament’s President is elected in a secret ballot that takes place in the first plenary session after the elections.
The candidate who receives the absolute majority of the votes cast gets the post.
The President also directs Parliament’s activities, chairs plenary sessions and declares the EU budget finally adopted. The role also includes setting out Parliament’s point of view at the beginning of every European Council meeting.

The Patriots for Europe. The Sovereignists. These are two new political entities in the European Parliament. But what do they stand for? And has the Far Right finally united?

Ursula von der Leyen still faces her toughest test yet: securing a majority vote in the European Parliament, which requires 361 votes. With 7 political groups in the parliament, each with its own agenda, achieving this might prove very difficult. This video will look at whether she can get a majority.

A member of the European parliament released a white dove in the parliamentary chamber on Wednesday, in what he claimed was a gesture of peace.
Subscribe to Guardian News on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/guardianwiressub
Miroslav Radačovský, an MEP from the Slovak Patriot party, made a short speech in what he said was his 'last intervention' in parliament. He wished Europe and the world peace, before releasing the bird from a bag around his waist. 'Let's let this dove unite all of us. Let this dove, a symbol of peace … let us realise that what we need most is really peace,' he said.
A French Green MEP said the gesture was a violation of parliamentary rules. 'What are you going to do now to get this animal back?' asked Caroline Roose. 'Where is animal welfare in this speaker's gesture? I find this absolutely unacceptable.'
