It’s Time! The Hard Work Starts Now!
Campaigning for Local & European Elections will kick off in the next few weeks, in March 2024.
We need as many members as possible to get involved – run as a candidate, leaflet, canvass – whatever you can.
As a new, grassroots party, we invite anyone who has a few hours a week to step forward.
We will also be starting the set-up of local Cumanns – again, if interested please let us know!
A message from our Party President:
