In the lead up to the General Election, PSC branches across Britain have organised election hustings in various constituencies.
Hustings are public meetings to which local prospective candidates are invited, in order to allow members of the public to listen and put questions to those standing for election. Importantly, they are an opportunity to challenge candidates’ over their position on Palestinian rights.
This General Election has been called at a moment when Palestinians are confronting the darkest moment in their struggle for liberation. We must ensure that candidates know that Palestine is a core electoral issue for constituents across Britain.
Find your local hustings below and take our questions to all candidates as a guide, to help us to ramp up the pressure on every candidate standing for election in July!
