Animals Count first in Eastern region

On 7 May, Animals Count leader Jasmijn de Boo, running mate Alex Bourke and activist Richard Deboo became official candidates for Animals Count in the EU election on 4th June in the Eastern region. Not only are we first listed, out of 14 parties and one independent candidate, Jasmijn de Boo is the only female lead candidate. The Eastern region has been betrayed by some MEPs, one of whom has been arrested for fraud. Animals Count will set things right for animals, people and the environment.

Because the EU elections use a proportional representation voting system, every vote counts, so miss de Boo could be the first UK MEP that stands up for the most forgotten and vulnerable beings in society; the animals!
