They have 0 councillors on the council at present. Even if they did take control, they'd have to convince central government to give them some cash, as local council budgets have been completely shot.

the green party did come close last local election as in my area (thatto heath) they came 2nd, this project is not one from the green party it is being done by merseytravel and St Helens Council, the Green Party are shouting about it as they are worried the 2 named groups have not put decent case forward to get the aproval to go ahead, hope this clears a few things
