* New website launched as Greens embark on most ambitious election campaign ever.
With 12 weeks to go until the General Election, and the Greens continuing to perform better than ever in the polls, a new website has been launched to enable supporters to pledge their vote to the Green Party.
The site, which gives members details of their local candidates, as well as linking people to their nearest 'target' constituency, will allow thousands of new Green Party members to get involved for the first time.
The membership of the Green Party of England and Wales has increased by 214% since May 2014. Currently there are over 53,000 members.
Members and supporters can pledge their support at http://pledge.greenparty.org.uk/
The ongoing membership surge and latest polling further calls into question Ofcom's initial view (3) that the Green Party is not a 'major party'.
Amelia Womack, Deputy Leader of the Green Party, said:
"This fantastic new tool allows our thousands of new members and supporters to get involved with the party for the first time.
We're going to be standing more candidates than ever at this election but, as a party without financial support from big business or vested interests, we rely on our members to spread the word about our popular policies."
