Green Party make it a Montgomeryshire election six-pack

The Green Party have entered the fray for the local UK Parliamentary seat, with Montgomery and Forden county councillor Jeremy Brignell-Thorp confirmed as their candidate for Montgomeryshire and Glyndwr.

“The Green Party is the only party taking the climate emergency seriously - and this is the defining issue of this century.

“The Green Party also stands for a fair and compassionate society, please contact me if you would like to learn more about the Green Party.”
