My Climate party will take on 110 Conservatives in the next election: Britain can win when it comes to the environment
- Ed Gemmell is leader of the Climate party
Conservative members – and by default the whole country – have been let down by the current leadership race. Both Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss have almost completely ignored the climate and biodiversity crisis in their pitches to party members, effectively jeopardising the future of millions.
The Conservative party as a whole, along with the other mainstream parties, has miserably failed Britain on climate, displaying a nonchalant attitude to the danger and a lack of commitment to action. Leadership has been so lacking on this issue that my co-founders and I felt compelled to create a new single-issue, centre-right party to champion these concerns: the Climate party.
Ed Gemmell is leader of the Climate party, a Buckinghamshire councillor, and managing director of Scientists Warning Europe
