“Only a single sitting Conservative was rated as “good” on climate votes in the ranking, but that was Lisa Cameron, the MP for East Kilbride, who defected from the Scottish National Party in October.”
Wow!
THIS JUST IN:
the Tories only care about protecting the interests of themselves and their ~~investors~~ donors
I will “lead the greenest government ever” said Cameron in 2010.
TBF, it’s hard to find anything on which the Tories have acted positively.
Surely this is the best example of how they are the party of the past.
Well, turns out all that stuff about fighting for the environment said by Boris Johnson… well it was said by Boris Johnson.
Newsflash: its freezing today and I have the fire on. Its the 28th May. Climate hoax…

Climate Change is here and now. Ignoring it is idiotic.

Any evaluation by lunatic fringe bodies like VoteClimate are going to be full of shite.
The Tories have shown the way by postponing goals and binning the catchphrases around “net zero” since they will have no global impact, only hurt the UK while the rest of the world goes about their business ignoring the unhinged eco-loons, c.f. China ramping up pace of opening new coal fired power stations.
Labour are following as discretely as they can, dropping their own commitments to this lunacy.
Amazing consistency from the Party of Pull-The-Ladder-Up.
Who determines what’s positive? VoteClimate (lol)?
Maybe I want to vote for someone who throws car batteries in the sea
Here you go. Several entries from the voting record of a randomly picked Tory Minister:
Kevin Holindrake: Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade)
Voted against more **EU integration;**
Voted for a reduction in spending on **welfare benefits;**
Consistently voted against improving **environmental water quality;**
Voted against financial incentives for **low carbon** emission **electricity generation** methods**;**
Generally voted against the **preservation of environmental protections** after withdrawal from the EU**;**
Consistently voted against improving **air quality;**
Consistently voted against laws to promote **equality and human rights;**
Voted against equal **gay rights;**
Voted against requiring **imported goods** to meet **domestic standards;**
**As one can see, a typical Tory that has not voted at all in improving the lives of the British people. If anything he actually voted in favour of making lives worse for literally everyone.**
**Someone that needs to be thrown in the dustbin along with all the other shysters and sociophobic arse-holes that have ruined the country over the past 14 years.**
