It's worth noting that she'll almost certainly be elected anyway, as
she's the top Tory candidate, so if they get enough votes across the
whole of London to get one MEP candidate, Villiers will get in, as the
top nominated Tory. The actual voting record of the MEPs is supposed to
be online at http://www.ffii.org.uk/votes/swpat/country/UK.html, but the
site appears to not be working at the moment.... The LibDems are a bit
of a disappointment on this - they sound as though they're against it,
but their voting record is rather less favourable.

Mike.
