The European Parliament passes laws that affect everyone in the European Union. It deals with issues such as the environment, human rights, consumer rights and economic development. Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) have the power to change, approve or reject new European laws.
There are 12 European electoral regions that make up the UK with each region having between three and ten MEPs. Each group of MEPs is responsible for representing the whole of that region. Slough residents are part of the South East region which has ten MEPs.
As well as local elections, European Parliament elections took place on June 10. You have one vote when you elect your MEP. Each party puts forward a list of candidates and you must vote for one of these lists, or for an individual candidate standing as an independent.
