The Election and the Environment
Tuesday, 20 April 2010 09:02
Neither of the two main parties are focusing on the environment in this election. Both parties refer to the environment well down in their respective manifesto documents with Labour’s being third to last and the Tories second to last - hardly the priority it surely deserves. Even the Liberal Democrats manifesto document refers it just over half way through.

A fair bit of the Labour manifesto contains little that’s new whilst the Tories have a few fresh ideas and support the Governments greenhouse gas targets. The Liberal Democrats have come up with some different ideas such as an eco-friendly cash back scheme for replacement windows with double glazing and replacement of ageing boilers.

With the public at large becoming more aware of the harm being sustained to the environment and the demand for organisations to continue to achieve Energy Savings, with ever increasing Government legislation, perhaps the main parties have missed an opportunity to win over some of the undecided.
