1984 European Parliament Election
14–17 June 1984 · The Community years · 434 seats, 218 for a majority · 10 member states
Greece's accession brought the electorate to ten countries. The Socialists consolidated their lead, but the sensation was Jean-Marie Le Pen's Front National winning 10 far-right seats in France and founding the European Right group, the radical right's first parliamentary bridgehead in the chamber.
