General Election – Mary Clarke Statue Appeal https://maryclarkestatue.com Wed, 30 Apr 2025 08:06:29 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1 168102941 Good Luck to All General Election Candidates https://maryclarkestatue.com/uncategorized/good-luck-to-all-general-election-candidates/ Thu, 04 Jul 2024 10:14:37 +0000 https://maryclarkestatue.com/?p=1919 Today is 4th July 2024, the date of the General Election. We wish all candidates the very best of luck , especially remembering our Patrons, former M.P.s Peter Kyle for Labour and Maria Caulfield for the Conservatives, both of whom are candidates for election today. 

Our Green Patron, Caroline Lucas has recently stood down from her service as a member of Parliament. We thank her for her devoted service to our city and wish her a very happy retirement.

We know our Patrons will defend the rights of women and girls, inspired in part by Mary Clarke and the long struggle of the suffragist movement – as well as similar movements for democracy and civil rights. We hope all candidates will do the same.

Note that the Mary Clarke Statue Appeal has cross party support and no party-political affiliation.
