Sussex South and Crawley (European Parliament constituency)

Prior to its uniform adoption of proportional representation in 1999, the United Kingdom used first-past-the-post for the European elections in England, Scotland and Wales. The European Parliament constituencies used under that system were smaller than the later regional constituencies and only had one Member of the European Parliament each.

Furness was the candidate of an unofficial Conservative association in the constituency. The policy of the unofficial association was right wing and the party opposed a federal structure for the European Union.
