Yes, I was (partially) talking about sunsetting nuclear energy, which they had a major part in (though some of that was indirectly).
They are also against fracking, which indirectly leads to more coal burning. Which is worse.

I would look at the CO2 emitted per Joule or something like that. Ie something that puts nuclear and coal into different baskets.

You don't have to be in cabinet to influence other parties.
They barely made it into parliament at all most elections, hovering around 5% in 2002 and 2006 and well below 10% after that until 2021. I think you might be giving them too much credit.

You're perhaps talking about the downstream effects of sunsetting nuclear energy but even since then, the ratio of renewable energy has only increased. So what do you mean exactly?
