This table shows the outcome for the governing party of the time of all but the first Euro-elections and the subsequent reshuffle.
It appears that 4 is the maximum casualty rate from a Euro election reshuffle, with Thatchers fall in sight in 89, and Major's panic-strewn (but post leadership election) reshuffle in 94 as hardly enviable comparators for Brown.
NB. Figures in the table won't always add up - as the UK allocation of Euro seats has changed over time, the figures used are like-for-like comparators.
