Historic Gains for the Green Party
In the recent general election, the Green Party significantly increased its representation in Parliament, expanding its number of MPs from one to four. This growth followed the historic victory of Caroline Lucas in 2010, which had long remained a solitary win for the party. The Green Party garnered over 1.8 million votes during the election, a figure that underscored its rising popularity. Despite these gains, media coverage did not reflect this success proportionately, highlighting a persistent issue of underrepresentation in mainstream narratives.
