> New polling has the Green

> Parliament from two to six.
>
> Polling prepared by YouGov Plc on behalf
> of the Green Party (1), predicts the Green Party is on course to win 8%
> of the vote (see polling attached). The poll was conducted between 30
> April and 1 May 2014.
>
> The Green Party, which currently has two MEPs
> (Jean Lambert and Keith Taylor) are neck-and-neck with the Liberal
> Democrats. Greens are ahead of the Lib Dems in four of the nine English
> regions (the North-East, the North-West, Yorks and Humber and Eastern
> Region) with both parties polling on 11% in London.
>
> IN THE EAST OF
> ENGLAND, THE POLL SHOWS LIB-DEMS ON 6% WITH GREENS ON 7%.

> The

> Rupert Read, a former Liberal

> "Two years ago, the Liberal Democrats were split 50/50 on

> Natalie Bennett continued:
>
> "When people

> affordable housing and insulating every home - they vote Green. And when
> they vote Green they get Green. With a national swing of just 1.7% we
> can treble our number of MEPs."
