Climate Party
The Climate Party is a green conservative political party in the United Kingdom. It has been compared to the successful teal independent movement of centrist, environmentalist independent politicians in Australia. The party was founded in 2022 by Ed Gemmell, a councillor for Hazlemere in Buckinghamshire. Gemmell describes the party as a 'business-friendly and climate-serious alternative' to the Conservative Party. The party plans to stand in the next general election in 110 Conservative-held marginal seats, specifically targeting MPs who 'obstruct climate action'. Ideology
The party's core focus is on tackling climate change and decarbonising the economy by 2030. It describes itself as '100% focused on climate change'. Its policy proposals include abolishing all fossil fuel subsidies, implementing 'polluter-pays policies' and investing in green technology. Electoral history
The Climate Party contested the July 2023 Uxbridge and South Ruislip and Selby and Ainsty by-elections, with Gemmell running in Uxbridge and Luke Wellock in Selby. Both candidates lost their deposits, polling less than 0.2% of the vote each. References
