The Climate Party is a Green conservative party in the United Kingdom.[1] It has been compared to the Teal independents in Australia, which won a record 10 seats in the House of Representatives in 2022.
The party was founded in 2022 by its leader, Ed Gemell, a councillor for Hazlemere in Buckinghamshire.[2] It was founded as a centre-right, single issue party. It seeks to provide Conservative voters with a 'business-friendly and climate-serious alternative.'
The party plans to challenge the Conservatives at the next election in 110 marginal seats. In particular, the party is said to be targeting a group of 19 Conservative MPs who are members of the 'Net Zero Scrutiny Group'.
Ideology[edit]
The party's core focus is on tackling climate change and decarbonising the economy by 2030. As such, it has announced a number of policies in this area, including stopping all subsidies for fossil fuel companies, implementing polluter-pays policies and investing in green technology.
