In what ways should a government balance economic growth with environmental protection?

 @9SYR28Janswered…4mos4MO

Emphasis on creating new renewable energy, lowering bills and creating jobs.

While economic growth is important, some consideration should be saved for sustainability. The "environment" can sometimes be a controversial and divided topic, so instead focus should be on "sustainability."

The actual answer is SNP, but as I don't live in Scotland that is not available in the constituency in which I am eligible to vote.

Notably Plaid Cymru finish ahead of Labour and the same applies there (I did my degree in Swansea, but that is almost ancient history now).

Labour? 73%?

The number one issue as far as I am concerned is undoing the total nonsense called Brexit and moving to rejoin the EU as soon as that is practicable (it may take 10 years).

How much responsibility do you think the government should take for tackling climate change?

 @9TWCYPDReform UKanswered…3mos3MO

You cant stop climate change!!! The magnetic poles are shifting and have been for the last 20-30years. It will continue for the next 20years until the poles shift, the weather is getting worse and will continue to get worse. Visable evidence of the poles shifting and weaken of the magnetic shield was a low altitude aurora in May from a minor X3 class solar flare, which we have had many in the past and no aurora seen in South of UK.
