The ridiculous and incompetent Tories of today might be changing this, but historically the UK has been fairly unique in that even their right wing party (the Conservative party) are fairly pro green policies. Conservation of the environment in the UK has been considered a Conservative party tradition and the UK Conservatives did not find it difficult to shift from environmental conservation at the local level to the global level (i.e. also acting against climate change). In fact, Boris Johnson was one of the biggest promoters of rewilding and reducing emissions. Unfortunately the political incompetents running the Conservative party today have taken the result of a single local issue in a single election where they did pretty badly but did not do as badly as the worst case scenario and decided that it means the British public is for worse transit, worse environmental policies, and less government incentive to reduce energy costs and greening the grid. I'm hopeful that whenever this ridiculous conservative party is forced to call an election (within the next year or so), the larger British public will punish them for it and get rid of the trash that has taken over the party.
