European Parliament elections were held in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar (which formed part of the European Parliament constituency combined region of South West England) on 22 May 2014, with the results announced on 25 May 2014. On the previous two occasions Gibraltar has participated in European elections, the Conservative Party had topped the poll. The Liberal Democrats won the popular vote in the territory for the first time. They opposed British withdrawal from the European Union and were the only party to include a Gibraltar resident on their list of candidates, Lyana Armstrong-Emery of the Liberal Party of Gibraltar.22 May 2014 Statement of Parties and Individual Candidates Nominated http://www.poole.gov.uk/EasysiteWeb/getresource.axd?AssetID=18359&type=full&servicetype=Attachment dead https://web.archive.org/web/20140503184416/http://www.poole.gov.uk/EasysiteWeb/getresource.axd?AssetID=18359&type=full&servicetype=Attachment 2014-05-03 poole.gov.uk
