YOUR VOTE MATTERS! Don't miss the deadline for registering to vote in the upcoming Local Elections (District, Town and Parish) on May 2, 2019 is FRIDAY APRIL 12th 2019.
Over 10,000* Wealden residents have already signed the record-breaking petition that was started just a few days ago and has already surpassed five million signatures (and counting!), calling on the government to Revoke Article 50. However, due to the volume of traffic, the petition site has repeatedly crashed and many people who have tried to sign have not yet been able to.
Trains across Wealden were packed on the morning of Saturday March 23rd (not least because Southern apparently didn't get the memo and therefore hadn't added any extra carriages, let alone extra trains!) as thousands of Sussex residents travelled up to London for what would turn out to be not only the biggest People's Vote March to date but, with estimates of well over a million marchers, possibly the biggest ever demonstration in the UK.
So after two-and-a-half years of incompetence, indecision and ineptitude, Theresa May's Brexit deal has been resoundingly rejected by the House of Commons. Despite postponing her "meaningful vote" by over a month in order to rally support for her bad deal, it was voted down last night by an historic parliamentary majority of 230, the biggest government defeat ever.
