A Green party council candidate is attempting to evict his Labour opponent from a house he owns using a no-fault notice, despite his party supporting a ban on exactly such kinds of eviction.

William Pedley, who is standing for the Greens in the Victoria ward of North Northamptonshire council, has served a section 21 notice on his tenant and political rival Kelly Duddridge, who has lived in the property for 10 years.

Duddridge remains in the property but says the threat of eviction has caused her and her family significant stress, while Labour has accused Pedley of hypocrisy given his party’s opposition to no-fault evictions. Other Green party politicians have been accused of showing hypocrisy by calling for more clean energy while opposing solar farms and electricity pylons in their local areas.

I'd assume Green Party voters are in a higher state of anxiety than voters of other parties. Especially if they're reading the likes of George Monbiot every week. You're now a planet trasher for buying tomatoes according to one of his columns. Adjusting your lifestyle choices to be kinder on the planet and animals is however an admirable trait.
