Vote Blue, Go Green?

That "Vote Blue, Go Green" message seems rather dated now. In fact, it must be almost four weeks since the Conservatives put environmental concerns high on their campaign agenda for the local council elections.

With fuel costs continuing to rise, the Tories may not be the only party or pressure group to play down their green credentials at the moment.

Even Greenpeace have criticised plans to increase future road tax for vehicles already on the road.
