John,
On 5 April we launched our campaign to get more Greens elected to local government.
Two months later, we have 551 councillors on 168 councils across England and Wales, an increase of more than a fifth.
We are in control or part of the ruling administration of 19 councils – and counting - and are the official opposition and in a position to significantly influence a further 16.
This is what our democracy should look like – diverse, collaborative, accountable.
