Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace analysed political parties’ election manifestos and the Greens’ manifesto came out on top.
Their verdict:
š„Green Party = 98%
š„ Lib Dems = 79%
š„ Labour = 51%
ā Tories = 13%
Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace have compared the Green Party manifesto with Labour, Tories and Liberal Democrats.
From the Friends of the Earth website:
“Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace have joined forces to rank political partiesā manifestos ahead of polling day on 4 July. … The Green Party leads the pack with a whopping 39 out of a possible 40 points followed by the Liberal Democrats on 31.5. … Labour scored a respectable but not exceptional 20.5, while the Conservatives are miles off in last place with a shocking 5 points.”
Friends of the Earth, June 2024
Parties were scored across a range of measures, not just the environment. The Green Party came out on top by some distance. The rankings include top scores for Greens on Housing, Justice, and Transport – and a near perfect score for Energy too.
As the Friends of the Earth website puts it: “Manifestos are solemn pledges between political parties and the electorate at general elections, so what they include matters.” Read the Green Party manifesto here.
If having an MP whose voice supports the Green manifesto matters to you, vote Green Party on 4 July.
