“Unfortunately global warming has become a constant crusade by the Left to impose a new, thoroughly painful ideology on us, when their old ones have been demolished”
Edward Leigh, MP for Gainsborough
Progressive Rating: 16%
Leigh may have voted in favour of some eco-legislation but his views leave much to be desired and are symptomatic of a Conservative party that repeatedly fail to take climate change seriously.
Judging by his wide spectrum of regressive views, the ’painful ideology’ of global warming may be supported by scientists, but is too tough a pill for this Cornerstone Group member to swallow.
