(Text from Your Party article on the English Local Elections 2026)
Endless cuts. Public services in the gutter. Social care on the brink. The Establishment parties have torn the heart out of local government. In the English local elections on 7 May, Your Party will build a real alternative, a politics rooted in and accountable to our communities, not billionaires and the professional political class.
In the May 7 English local elections, Your Party is fielding or supporting candidates across England, ready to stand up to developers, fight cuts and divest for Palestine. As voted by members, these are either Your Party candidates, Independent Socialists or aligned community independent groups.
At Your Party’s founding conference in November, members agreed an approach to the local elections with two pillars. Firstly, we will support existing community independent groups aligned with our values and rooted in their communities.
We are also pursuing a targeted strategy, getting behind candidates who can meaningfully contest for seats, rather than standing everywhere and spreading our resources thin. We will be supporting independent socialist candidates as well as standing official Your Party candidates.
All our candidates are embedded in their community, supported by trade unions or community organisations, with a commitment to socialist politics! They have been selected democratically by members in their area.
