🔶There is a unique opportunity to build a winning coalition with bold leadership on nature & climate.

🔶Local environmental concerns resonate powerfully — from protecting green spaces, investing water company fines into nature and more environmentally friendly new build homes.

The findings show:

🔶 Lib Dem voters rank environment as a top 3 issue - twice as much as the general public.

🔶 Environmental issues motivated many to vote Lib Dem last year.

🔶 They want strong local and national action.

🐦Great to see @politico.eu cover our research with @moreincommonuk.bsky.social on how Lib Dem voters view environmental issues — and what this means for the Party’s future 👇
