I’m not so sure about that.
they care more about swing voters in swing constituencies - not people in general.
i think there are plenty of swing voters who might be mildly bothered about the environment, but many can be made to fear losing their cars more with the right rhetoric.
I think they’ll bet that most of the people turned off by that were never going to flip to tory anyway.
I’d also not put too much stock in opinion polls on that matter - they’re just not a very good measure. sure 50/60/70% of voters may say they care about the environment when asked a question with nothing at stake. but would they actually vote to get rid of their car or for higher fuel taxes; or even just to invest public money into public transport services.
