Party Leader calls for ban to fracking in Shropshire

But why is it only the Green party who are against fracking, when 74% of the people are against it?

Natalie Bennett has said that plans for fracking in Shropshire should be scrapped immediately, during a visit to the county.

Ms Bennett made her comments after former Environment Secretary and North Shropshire MP Owen Paterson, known for his pro-fracking views, said: “Europe risks condemning itself to oblivion as global manufacturer if it does not embrace fracking. UK must get a move on.”

It seems odd that the two leading European countries, Germany and France, do not share his views. Both of them have banned fracking.
