Flintshire People's Voice is a local political party in Flintshire, Wales formed in 2024. It currently has 6 elected councillors on Flintshire County Council.
The party was formed when 5 sitting Labour councillors crossed the floor and defected from the ruling Labour administration after accusing a cabinet member of 'misleading backbenchers'.[2] They further cited policy disagreements and a culture within the ruling group of ignoring the concerns of backbench councillors.[3]
The party's logo includes a chough, the heraldic symbol of the county of Flintshire, which features on the county's coat of arms and flag. The party's registration was approved by the Electoral Commission on 3 February 2025.[4]
