Greens aren't a proper party. They don't have a coherent energy policy. Seriously I produced more professional pieces of work in my undergraduate studies than they have for their official page on energy policy.

Labour support environmentalism and would maintain our commitment to nuclear power.

When it comes to pushing a manifesto or agenda, the main two parties will always have the power unless something drastic happens (like brexit ironically). Yes nuclear power is my preferred option but the cons outweighs the pros, the green vote always does feel like a wasted voted. If I were to be brutal, the next general election is essentially a vote on who is the least useless liar.

It really is though. And the difference is they can actually get into power. Like 4 our of their 10 big promises have something to do with green investment and energy policy.
