Last week a Friends of the Earth on-line poll puts the Liberal Democrats far ahead of the other main parties in caring about climate change. Asked 'which of the three main parties cares most about climate change?', nearly 83 per cent of the respondents named the Liberal Democrats. The Conservatives were in second place on 12 per cent and Labour on 6 per cent.
The Friends of the Earth result follows a poll by ICM for the Guardian which found that the Liberal Democrats were thought to be the party which would do most to protect the environment.
Commenting on the results Stephen Lloyd said:
"Despite David Cameron's efforts to green the Tories, even more voters now recognise that the Liberal Democrats have the track record and the policies to put the environment first."
