I am thrilled that thanks to the confidence placed in me by <a href="https://eastern.greenparty.org.uk">Eastern Region Green Party</a> members, my name will be on the ballot paper on Thursday 23rd May! We&#8217;d love our region to elect our first Green MEP to join a growing band of increasingly influential <a href="https://europeangreens.eu">European Greens</a> working hard and constructively in the <a href="http://www.europarl.europa.eu/portal/en">European Parliament</a>. A Green vote is a vote for Catherine Rowett, our lead candidate &amp; for our wonderful team. For the <a href="https://eastern.greenparty.org.uk/euro-2019.html">full list</a> &amp; how to support our campaign please go <a href="https://eastern.greenparty.org.uk/euro-2019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>: </span></p>

<p>For democracy geeks, I am standing for election as Green Party list member no 4 in the Eastern Region. Elections for the European Parliament are <span class="lt-line-clamp__line">now expected to take place on the 23rd May 2019 following an extension to </span><span class="lt-line-clamp__line">the Article 50 process. The United Kingdom is currently due to participate alongside other EU </span><span class="lt-line-clamp__line">member states and to elect 73 UK Members of the European Parliament. These seats were due </span><span class="lt-line-clamp__line">to be reallocated to other countries as part of the process of leaving the EU, but the UK has not </span><span class="lt-line-clamp__line">yet left. If UK MEPs have taken their seats on 1 July 2019, and the UK has still not left, the seats </span><span class="lt-line-clamp__line">will not be reallocated.</span></p>
