Influence of left-of-centre parties increase strength of government’s climate policy score by about 22 per cent
Right-wing parties are taking aim at climate policies as the cost of energy soars, experts have warned.
Populist and nationalist politicians could switch their attention away from blaming immigration and focus more on climate and energy policies if the cost of living crisis continues to significantly impact the lives and finances of voters, research from the University of Sussex Business School and the University of Warwick found.
Dr Matthew Lockwood, of the University of Sussex Business School, says the influence of left-of-centre parties increases the strength of a government’s climate policy score by about 22 per cent relative to the average score.
Meanwhile, the influence of right-wing populist parties leads to a 24 per cent reduction in climate policy scores.
The research also highlights how strongly majoritarian systems, when both the head of government and all the cabinet posts are held by right-wing populist parties, rate 58 per cent lower than the average.

T'S TIME FOR THE WORLD WAKE !!!
They are just showing the GLOBALIST way to all the rest of the world. The only way these problems can be avoided is if the people demand the governments stop trying to run their lives, run the economy, and run the world.
It's part of the theater. Right and left, whatever else, they don't matter; all of them have given in to the eugenicists' coercion.
