BUT new political party seeks to solve the climate crisis plans to challenge tory in more more than 100 places next elections targeting supporters of climate-denying conservatives.
Created as a centre-right one-party issue party climate party seeks to provide conservative voters with a business- a climate-friendly serious alternative to the Tories, whose leadership candidates were reserved over in partyx net zero obligations as Britain folded under 40C heat for in first time on record.
“This is not leadership,” said Ed Gemmell, founder of climate party. – This is a personal interest.
Gemmell, A. former army officer and city lawyer, registered Climate party with election Committee on hottest day in britain last a week. Unlike his Conservative colleagues, he worked for many years on of the climate crisis and believes that climate-conscious conservative voters do not feel respected and do not feel ignored by the party leadership. He hopes the climate party give them with alternative that will protect economy, people and climate.
“We got one elections left to save the planet,” he said.
Climate party plans to challenge conservatives in 110 marginal seats in in next elections in which the conservatives only win up up to 7000 votes.
Gemmell said that party would also target 19 Conservative MPs who are members of Net Zero Scrutiny Group Collection of conservative supporters who opposed governments net zero politicians. “Craigie McEnlay, Steve Baker – we will stand against them in each place. Any conservative who tries join what group as well as destroy in future of my children, and lose us this is big opportunity, we will field a centre-right candidate against them.”
The Tories may well be scared. Gemmell defeated his Conservative rivals to become a councilor in Buckinghamshire in May 2019, elected as an independent candidate with one policy, “fighting climate change now”. He left on become an advisor for hazlemer last yearand is the manager director of Scientists warn Europe, charity that promotes ‘science-approved solutions’ for energy transition.
Recent Australian general elections may also provide caution tale. In this poll, climate-focused candidates named “teal independents” on places are occupied by right-wing liberals party. They are won several places and took votes stay away from liberals in a lot others, leading to the parliamentary majority for The work of Anthony Albanese party.
Heart of climate partyx policy decarbonizes economy by 2030. Gemmell’s vision for UK to become global leader in energy transition by ending all subsidies for Fossil fuel companies implementing “polluter pays” policies to stimulate circular economy and investment in renewable infrastructure and technologies.
Instead of letting left monopoly on such a policy, Gemmel says it’s smart, pro-business ideas that will give United Kingdom economy overall competitive advantage world is increasingly turning its attention to decarbonization and the energy transition. He says politics is nowhere near as radical as the tories government would make voters believe by claiming that one-third of british councils already committed to carbon zero by 2030.
Gemmell said, “It’s not big policy for government because it already happening”, adding that the climate obliges in the heart of of Conservative policy were harmful and revealed the party’s unfocused approach to the threat of climate crisis.

Currently climate party still building rest of his manifesto, but he said many conservative voters were desperate for a party this reflected their deep concern about climate change, even if it party didn’t have all the answers.
“The whole point is to focus in of all of in great minds in UK in the spotlight of financial sector in manage it to get to the point where we can answer these questions,” Gemmell said. “While we start on what path with war-like effort, we’re not going to do it.”
