UK ELECTION: Why have the Greens done so well in rural Tory areas?

[RandySF]

For years the Greens have been suggesting they're on the verge of a breakthrough - this year they've really done it.

Gains have been, in some places, nothing short of spectacular.

Concerns about housing development in rural areas certainly seems to have been a driver.

The Greens have also professionalised in recent years and suggest an effective campaigning operation and councillors who are seen to get things done have played a big part, particularly in smaller communities.

When I spoke to some people planning to vote Green in Mid Suffolk, there was also genuine enthusiasm for both the party and for environmental issues in general.
