RE: UK general election - right wing Conservative party wins large majority

Quote:Labour has the strongest policies to protect nature and combat climate change, a Friends of the Earth (FoE) survey suggests.
Its election pledges narrowly beat the Green Party and the Liberal Democrats – with the Conservatives far behind.
One key climate policy area is aviation, and Labour has now announced plans for a levy on people who take frequent flights.
The FoE league table marks the parties on 45 policy points.
The environmental campaign group's scores are:
- Labour - 33
- Greens - 31
- Lib Dems - 30
- Conservatives - 5.5
The words "unmitigated disaster" seem to be revolving in my mind.
