Natalie Bennett: Greens will put pressure on climate change policy
Green Party MPs would “give Ed Miliband a spine” over climate change by any minority Labour administration, Natalie Bennett will say today.
With just two full days of General Election campaigning left, she will urge voters to help boost the party’s Westminster influence – after it secured its first MP in 2010.
“Green MPs will do all they can to stop a Tory government taking office, but if they do get back in you can rest assured that Green MPs will be on their case, holding them to account and exposing their shortcomings,” she will say at a campaign event in Cambridge.
“But, with a Labour minority administration looking increasingly likely, you’ve got a chance to elect a strong group of Green MPs who can have an effective influence on Ed Miliband on climate change – including issues like fracking, home energy efficiency and breaking up the influence of the big six energy companies.”
