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, which we felt described well what we are really trying to do.
As a party, Confelicity stands for Local.
Being local gives you the conviction to make a difference. It gives you the courage to question the status quo, and the insight to find answers to issues that really matter. Because a local mindset fosters an understanding of what local people want and need.
​
Our manifesto explains how we aspire to help, and we welcome all-comers who wish to join our meetings to contribute further - member or not - as we value your views regardless of your standpoint.
​​
We are wholly committed towards the prosperity of local residents.
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 10,000 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 two successful protests already and we have arranged the next one for Saturday, November 22nd in Southend High Street (under the bridge) from 11am to 1pm.
