LONDON — The Liberal Democrats — the third-biggest party in the U.K. parliament — reckon they have found a winning political formula.
Talking about the climate. A lot.
Fresh from landing a record haul of 72 seats at the 2024 general election by falling off kayaks and targeting customers at the upmarket Gail’s Bakery chain, the Lib Dems’ next trick will be to hammer home just how green they are.
“People are now voting for us because they do see us as a pro-environmental party and movement,” Pippa Heylings, MP for South Cambridgeshire and the party’s energy and climate spokesperson, told POLITICO. “And that matters to people, because they don’t see anybody else … standing up for that.”
