Prior to its uniform adoption of proportional representation in 1999, the United Kingdom used first-past-the-post for the European elections in England, Scotland and Wales.
It was renamed Merseyside East and Wigan at the 1994 European election, though its boundaries remained unchanged until the constituency disappeared in 1999.
It consisted of the Westminster Parliament constituencies (on their 1983 boundaries) of Knowsley North, Knowsley South, Leigh, Liverpool Garston, Makerfield, St Helens North, St Helens South, and Wigan.
