Oct 27, 2024, 09:05 AM

The Women's Equality Party (WEP) has announced important news regarding its future, recommending the closure of the party after a decade of operation. The Executive Committee has made the incredibly difficult decision, and founders Catherine Mayer and Sandi Toksvig have urged members to vote for the party's dissolution. The party, which describes itself as an intersectional feminist organization, has struggled in recent elections, securing only 1,275 votes in the last election. A special conference will be held next month to finalize the decision.
