No districts? Is this a national "party list" system?

Where is that (pardon my inquisitiveness, and feel free not to answer)?

Instinctively it feels wrong not to be able to vote for a representative you can identify; but I can't formulate a coherent reason why it's wrong.

In the Netherlands, in my case. Party lists, yes. Most European countries have that as far as I know, I thought the UK was an outlier.

I see. I wasn't aware that the UK EU constituencies were an idiosyncratic deviation.

Of course, we no longer have MEPs! I often forget this - that's how much difference the MEPs made to my life.
