they didn't stand in a fair amount of seats to be fair. I imagine most of their (limited) resources go into maintaining Lucas' position in Pavilion (which worked)
I imagine a lot of their voters were voting for Labour this time around- particularly their big student vote

Davies is a bellend of the highest order. Notable actions of his include talking out a bill that would have exempted hospital carers from parking charges.
I'm not really sure how he destroyed anyone in that vid.

If people genuinely care about animals/climate change then they will; too many people claim they love animals when they pay for animals to be slaughtered just so they can salivate their tastebuds

No, I don't think it did. It included wind, solar, biomass and hydro. Nuclear provided 23.2%. So around three quarters of electricity inc. nuclear.

I am not a Green voter but I do think our voting system is so rigged it's almost imposable for small parties to make headway the Tories had 44% of the vote and for that they get 318 MPs Labour got 41% which gave them 261 MPs so for 3% the Tories managed to get an extra 57 MPs while the Greens had 2% of the vote yet only manage to get the 1 MP UKIP
They get mentioned on this city and that's about it. Completely disproportionate view of them from the Brighton Pavilion bubble.
I heard it when they announced it on the radio, and they said renewables and nuclear combined exceeded gas and coal for the first time. Then in the link you've provided it says:
"The National Grid control room added that this is the first time that renewable energy and nuclear power have together produced more power than gas and coal plants combined."
Yet like you say, the figures from that link suggest that just renewables exceeded 50%. It doesn't make sense.
Oh dear .... you really are a Green boot licker aren't you Alan ! So our Irish little idiot Green was crushed because he decided not to put any effort in. How nice of him to go out of his way to stand for the 'members' sake. I'm sure the members would have rathered he stand with a view of trying to win the seat but at least the utter unpleasent idiot has followed the path of his loon Hawtree who lost equally heavily - or did Hawtree not put any effort in either ?
So you admit that Meat Free Monday was a Green policy but a council officer implemeted it early.
Really, your never ending defence of the Greens in such an arrogant, dismissive way ( and not just towards me ) just makes you look like a Green idiot. You really do come across as a Green sycophant.

Victims of tactical voting and stood candidates down in vital seats. The key number is Lucas doubling her majority in Pavilion.
The key numbers are 1 in 650.

Serious question as don't live in Brighton...
Has the city changed in any way due to having a Green MP?
Presumably all noticeable stuff - roads, parks, schools, new buildings, etc - for good or bad - is the responsibility of the Local Council?
In other words, does have a Green Party MP make any difference?

Unfortunately there isn't an effective way to store power generated by wind, solar and hydro so it's a power source that is still heavily dependent on weather conditions so an alternative is still needed to make up for times where green sources cannot meet the demand
Some countries can actually end up producing too much green energy during certain weather conditions and sell it off to neighbouring countries at negative cost ( https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/why-power-prices-turn-negative ) as a result of the problematic energy storage issues
Depending on which source you use, the figure shows it as over 50% was from renewable then nuclear power was on top of this figure, and others seem to imply that the over 50% for the first time included nuclear (which i suppose it technically true if it was over 50% green and then the 20% or so from nuclear on top and could be responsible for the differing reporting)
