Is The Green Party Missing From The Post-Election Landscape? While UKIP has been busy racking up national column inches, the Green Party has been rather quietly blooming in London. In last month’s local elections, they claimed 6.9% of the London-wide vote — an increased vote share of 50% up from 2010’s 4.6%. Should the political press be reigning it in a bit and ensuring that vital pre- and post-election coverage is extended to smaller parties like the Greens and independents, rather than focusing on those who make the most obvious headlines? https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/bbc-news-stop-this-media-blackout-of-the-green-party/?state=sign The organisers of this petition, which accuses the BBC of a ‘media blackout of the green party’, certainly think so, and so do the more than 45,000 people who signed it; not to mention the almost 1,200 complaints also received by the BBC. londonist/2014/06/is-the-green-party-missing-from-the-post-election-landscape.php
