Why UK concedes it must take part in EU Elections?
The British government reportedly acknowledged it for the reason that there is no chance that a Brexit deal can be approved in time to avoid the elections.
Conservative government had been desperate to avoid United Kingdom participation in elections for UK seats in the European Union legislature.
The upcoming elections to the European Parliament are expected to be held between 23 and 26 May 2019 and it is the 9th Parliamentary election since the first direct elections in 1979.
A total of 751 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) currently represent over 512 million people from 28 member states.
In February 2018, the European Parliament voted to decrease the number of MEPs from 751 to 705.
However, the UK agreed to participate together with other EU member states after an postponement of the Article 50 process.
