Elections in 2021
Last year, thanks to our wonderful Members and Supporters, Animal Welfare Party was able to stand in elections for the Mayor of London, London Assembly and Scottish Parliament (Lothian Region). We’re thrilled that we were able to raise the profile of animal and environmental issues in these elections. Read about how we did here.
We look forward to continuing to speak up for animals, planet and people in elections taking place in 2022.
