How the Greens are conquering the Tory countryside

In the vote on May 4, the Greens won Mid Suffolk district council from the
Conservatives, taking 24 of the 34 seats and securing their first ever
majority-held council in the UK. It was the biggest wave in a national
tidal surge of rural support for the party. The Greens doubled their
councillors nationally from 240 to 481 — and became the largest party in
East Hertfordshire and Lewes in East Sussex. They also took 12 seats in
East Suffolk, and made gains in Cumberland, South Tyneside, Hastings and
Worcester.
