Poll: Did climate change influence how you voted in the elections?
THE GREEN PARTY is riding a wave following Friday’s elections with the party taking council seats across the country.
The “green wave” has been largely put down to voter frustration at a lack of climate action at government and European level.

Poll Results:
No (2550)
