We follow our unique 'Undivided Democratic' voting system that requires all Southend Confelicity members, who are in attendance of the meeting, to unanimously agree on the pledge for it to make the manifesto. It is, therefore, impossible for any one member to dictate policy. It means any member has the power to veto a policy.
NEWS AND OPINION
We are looking for Southend residents to put themselves forward to represent the Confelicity Party in the 2026 local elections. If you are passionate about our city, believe in local people running things, and feel you could make a difference, then get in touch today.
