General Election 2015: The Green Party has failed to make its mark
Whatever became of the Green Party? There was a time when the “Green surge” promised to be one of the big surprises of 2015. Boosted by the controversy around who would take part in televised debates, the Greens gained 2,000 new members in a single day in January, taking their membership close to 45,000, more than the Liberal Democrats or Ukip. They now claim a membership of 60,000, four times what it was less than a year ago.
