The CDA have their ‘extra’ MEP because of their link with the orthodox religious parties and 50Plus. That means any excess CU, SGP and 50PLus votes are transferred to the CDA. The same vote transfer applies to the Labour party's link with GroenLinks, which means it has three MEPs - more than the Socialists, despite polling fewer votes.[2]
