Hmm, so no change in the rate since man made emissions of CO2 increased. Please explain what caused the increase to start about 200 years ago, and why they aren't increasing now if we're making we're planet so much warmer.
Just doesn't stack up to me. Forget the 'spin', look at the facts.

You missed out the Yorkshire Party, another localised party they also managed to beat in terms of total votes. And they absolutely mullered the Official Monster Raving Loony Party.
But yes, you're correct. Outside of Brighton Pavilion they were totally rejected by the electorate, 1.6% is truly pathetic; it barely even qualifies them as a 'minor' party.
Mind you they did do better than UKIP in terms of MPs. Perhaps Caroline Lucas can speak up for the truly disenfranchised and start adopting some UKIP policies?
Rejected? More like Green voters, voted for the greater good. Brighton Pavilion was the only realistic win (regardless of the Bristol optimism) so voting either Labour (who were worth voting for this time) or the Lib Dems if neccessary meant Greens voted elsewhere. I voted Green as live in Pavilion and wanted Caroline returned to parliament. If I lived in Hove or kemptown I would have voted Labour but that does not diminish my support for the Greens. In a FPTP system these are the considerations you have to make as a voter for one of the 'minor' parties.
He was indeed the council leader at the time. Then when things got tough he scuttled of to Crunch Accountants and now holds a senior role at Essex County Council. Essex are welcome to the little twit although I'm sure the taxpayers there will object to paying £150k for the privilege of having him !

Leaving aside the local issues, i'm sure we can all agree that we have been truly blessed with some local politicians with truly MAGNIFICENT names. I'm thinking...
- Jason Kitcat!
- Dave Lepper!
- Nimrod Ping!
As I say, we are truly BLESSED!

So I guess the Green MP would not advocate what the Green local council would introduce?

Oddly enough I came across Nimrod Ping's grave recently ... think it was St Margaret's Rottingdean, where Gary Moore's.
Also wasn't there a bloke called Pink Daffodil aswell?

Diddums.
Parts of Hove ARE Green areas. However, it was more important to elect a Labour MP for Hove.
Blimey. You reallt do have your finger on the pulse, don't you? Phelim MacCafferty (incredible you're having trouble reading such a simple name) stood as it was felt standing two candidates down in the city was taking a liberty with the members. He hardly canvassed, and wasn't upset about losing.

So they agree on meat free Monday, I am getting sooo confused.
That included Nuclear energy right? Not sure the Greens think that's the best form of energy.

One half of the popular Kemptown musical duo Ben Doon and Phelim MacCafferty?
Sorry. Just too simple a tap-in to let pass. My bad

Poor little Ian, getting it wrong again.
It was council officers who introduced Meat Free Mondays, who jumped the gun on the plan. The Green Party wanted to introduce it, but not until they felt council workers were up for it.
Still, what's a little re-writing of history?

You were being very silly with that post, until you got to the bit I highlighted in bold.
Then you started lying.
How about that Tory chap who retained his seat in Aberconwy last night?
