Green Party's Speed Limit Plan Faces Backlash

0:00On April 9th, a new poll shows the Green Party's plan to drop motorway speed limits to 55 miles per hour, is bombing hard, or even with their own. Voters. More than 60% of Green supporters oppose it, and nearly 70% of all British voters say no way. This comes after the party's push to slash speeds on motorways and dual carriageways by 15 miles per hour, plus 20 miles per hour zones. Everywhere and built of areas. You go of surveyed 4,385 adults on April 7th, finding just 23% of Green's back it compared to way. Higher opposition. Conservatives are firing back, calling it a war on drivers that makes roads slower, costlier, and sometimes impossible. Even former Green Leader Natalie Bennett defends it as evidence-based for fewer accidents and better fuel savings, but the numbers don't lie most. Folks across parties, from labor to Lib Dems, are against. Support ticks up a bit with women, Londoners, and 18 to 24-year-olds, but it's still low overall at 20% nationally.

1:05The Green's also won drivers retesting every 5 years, higher taxes on cars, and fewer parking spots to push people off the roads. As these transport ideas hit the spotlight alongside wilder ones like open borders or scrapping nukes, the poll signals big trouble for the Green's. Their base is splitting, and drivers nationwide are revving up resistance.
