Our table shows the number of MEPs in each group, broken down by Member State, as well as the non-attached (NI) Members not in any group. The figures are supplied by our colleagues from the Members’ Administration Unit. This infographic updates an earlier edition, of 3 May 2017.
Please note that these figures, supplied by our colleagues from the Public Opinion Monitoring Unit at DG Communication, are subject to change.

Last time Germany had 99 MEP. The discrimination of German citizens continues, not only are Germans underrepresented, each time a new member state joins the Germans get even less votes.

In trying to engage the public in an inclusive understanding of European politics, you’ve failed at the very first hurdle.
I can’t even see a link to find this secret information I’m supposed to know. A simple key or sentence would suffice and open the doors to a much wider audience of potentially-politically-active readers.
