How powerful is the Green Party?

The Green Party holds a relatively small number of seats in the UK Parliament, with only two MPs elected in the 2019 general election. While their influence is growing in local councils and they have a strong voice on environmental issues, their ability to directly shape national policy is limited. However, their conference decisions can still generate significant public and media attention.
