Green Party

The Green Party of England and Wales is experiencing its strongest sustained polling in its history. Under co-leaders Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay, the party won 4 Westminster seats at the July 2024 General Election — including Carla Denyer's victory in Bristol Central — on 4% of the vote, their best ever result.

By May 2026, the Greens are polling at 15% nationally -- nearly four times their General Election vote share and the highest the party has ever recorded in sustained national polling. The extraordinary surge reflects Labour's historic collapse from 33% to 18%, with progressive voters flooding to the Greens, with younger voters, climate-conscious voters, and those disillusioned with Keir Starmer's government increasingly turning to the Greens.

The Greens face the same structural challenge as all smaller parties under First Past the Post: translating a high national vote share into seats requires geographical concentration. Their strongest areas remain university cities and progressive urban constituencies.

Key Issues the Greens Lead On

Green Party voters in Britain skew strongly young, are disproportionately university-educated, and are concentrated in urban centres and university towns. The party also draws well among renters, younger women, and those who prioritise climate policy above other issues. Many Green voters are former Labour supporters who feel the party has moved too far toward the centre.
