The Green Party would like to say a big thank you to all those who voted Green in Broxtowe in May. Despite being a tight marginal seat we polled 1.8% of the vote (896 votes), but most of all we put environmental issues on the agenda during the campaign.

The full results:

Nick Palmer Labour 20,457 41.9 -6.7

"This election will be about people's quality of life. This goes beyond cheap flights and having the latest gadgets. Consumer choice is no use if the things we really need are not on the list: freedom, fairness, and fresh air."

Paul Anderson
