Extraordinary results for local Greens today, as we became the biggest party on Lewes District council with 17 councillors! Conservatives reduced from largest party to zero councillors. Looking forward to working hard for local people. #LocalElections2023 The Green Party
When UKIP won 166 councillors (but no councils) in 2014 the BBC called this a "political earthquake". The Green Party just gained 200 councillors, taking the total to 737, took control of a council & became the biggest party in several others. But 0 Green guests on #bbclaurak.
.The Green Party gained more Councillor in the West than any other Party last Thursday! Many Congratulations to all of the hard-working Association of Green Councillors (Graphic thanks to Politics West) #GetGreensElected
I am SO disappointed in The Labour Party for abstaining on a vote that would have delayed the #IllegalMigration Bill by at least a year, probably forever. They talk of 'improving' the Bill, and many of us will try, but it is tweaking at the edges of appallingly cruel plans for refugees.
The Greens are talking to (and winning) voters that otherwise wouldn't vote in a local election. That ruins expectations/targeting for the main parties, demanding new strategies. They have upended the apple cart, and unlike UKIP, are pushing up turnout. sotn.newstatesman.com/2023/05/behindโฆ
Brilliant Green gain from Conservatives by Stroud District Green Party, and a great endorsement by voters of Stroud's Green-led administration
Brilliant gain in a three-way marginal by BCP Green Party ๐ Great campaign from the local party that shows how much potential there is for even more in the future!
