Confelicity
Lives, breathes and loves local
Welcome to the
Confelicity Party
We are proud to be the first ever party founded in the City of Southend-on-Sea.
The name 'confelicity' means joy in other people's happiness..
As a party, Confelicity stands for Local.
We believe people local to an area know what's best and that they should have more money, power and influence to make the changes only they know how.
We are not left or right - we just vote issue-by-issue, we are just residents voicing and voting on what is going on around us.
We hold monthly meetings to debate what the council has agreed as well as new ideas from residents. If agreed unanimously, these policies will be transferred into our on-going manifesto.
Our manifesto explains how we aspire to help and we welcome all residents who wish to join our meetings to contribute further - member or not.
Confelicity is the local party for the national stage!
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.
The Southend Confelicity Party has joined the cross-party campaign to stop the Labour, Liberal Democrat and Independent Group coalition's policy to build thousands of homes on green belt land by Bournes Green Chase.
The only way to stop this happening is to vote them out in May 2026 - if those elections go ahead.
There are many ways you can help stop this. Join the Facebook group 'Save Bournes Green Chase Green Belt Land' and Save Our Green Belt | Southend & Rochford to find out more.
We have held three successful protests and have aligned with the newly formed 'Green Belters' community group that brings all green belt campaign groups together.
