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
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.
