He was elected four times as European Parliament Vice-President, 2004 - 2014. His main portfolio was Human Rights and Democracy. He was first elected as an MEP in 1984. McMillan-Scott was a Conservative until a dispute over the move of the Conservatives to a newly created, moderately eurosceptic parliamentary group, the European Conservatives and Reformists; he was expelled from the Conservatives, and eventually joined the Liberal Democrats in March 2010. McMillan-Scott was leader of the Conservative MEPs 1997 ? 2001. He was re-elected top of the Yorkshire & Humber regional list in the 2009 election. McMillan-Scott is a lifelong pro-European. Following David Cameron's decision to withdraw the Conservative MEPs from the centrist European People's Party in order to form the European Conservative and Reformist's Group, McMillan-Scott objected. When the composition of Cameron's new ECR group was announced after the European elections of 2009, McMillan-Scott protested.
