Thanet Green Party is growing in membership and is extremely active in local politics. We meet two-monthly and our meetings are open to all members and supporters.
We always welcome new members and supporters and have lots of ways you can get involved.
Our three local councillors and other hardworking members of the local branch in Ramsgate, the day before the European Parliament elections.
For the first time ever, we secured three Thanet Disctrict Council seats for the Green Party:
We won two Town Council seats: Becky in Ramsgate and Mike in Broadstairs.
Our new councillors can't wait to get stuck into the work to make a difference in Thanet: find out about their plans!
We also came third or fourth in most of the other wards where we weren't elected, which gives us a great platform to buid from for the future. We're overjoyed with these results and delighted to see them reflected all over the country.
We're so pleased that Green Party MEPs for the UK have more than doubled, from 3 in 2014 to 7! Our vote share nationwide was 12.1 percent, ahead of the Conservatives, and we had the same vote share in Thanet, coming third ahead of Labour.
Thank you so much for helping to make that happen!
Across the EU, there has been a Green surge: our pro-European, pro-environment, climate-emergency fighting message is definitely getting through.
And we are delighted to have had so many supporters locally who want to join the Green Party: 44 new members joined us recently, taking our total membership in Thanet to 118!
Welcome! It's great to have you with us and we look forward to working with you.
