But that's always been their manifesto, so I was amazed they had the level of support they did up to now..! Maybe the reality of being taxed into oblivion has started to kick in for people and outweigh the novelty of being climate conscious.

There definitely does seem to be a bit of a shift in public opinion on this stuff generally. At a corporate level too (which is where so much of it is driven from of course): apparently there have been record outflows of investors from ESG funds this year, and Larry Fink (the BlackRock guy who basically invented or at least championed the term) has said he will no longer use the term "ESG" because it's become "weaponised".

Interesting times..
