There are now more than 60,000 members of the Green Party of England and Wales.

Responding to the news, the party’s co-leader, Carla Denyer, said: “The Green Party got more votes and more MPs than ever before last May. We’ve got more councillors than ever and expect that number to grow this May. Today, we are celebrating breaking the 60,000 members point.”

She continued, “Crucially, this growth in membership and political representation is organic, powered by our grassroots activists on the ground. Increasingly as the two tired old parties collapse, people are crying out for change. Greens are offering real hope, real change, and a real alternative.”

This marks the first time the Greens have had more than 60,000 members since 2015.
