Cost of going green sparks backlash from Europe's voters
« on: June 05, 2024, 09:39:36 AM »

I'm surprised so far that we haven't seen more of a 'greenlash' in the Tory policy announcements in the UK election, especially given the use of the phrase 'environmental dogma' in the speech when Sunak called the election. I wonder if that might be more apparent after the EU elections if there is a uptick in climate change sceptical parties.

Pressure on the centrist parties from the right.

Good article on the possible advance of the 'far right' in the elections

Far right parties makes advances, and Macron calls a snap election.
