The city of Brighton and Hove on England's south coast is home to some of the country's most eco-conscious voters, and next week's general election there is as much about climate change as Brexit. "It's the only issue really... everything else becomes academic," said Mike Pelton, 60, a Green Party voter talking to its local candidate last week. Voters have elected Britain's first and only Green MP in the last three general elections and it has more party councillors than anywhere else in the country.
