GORTON & DENTON — Following the Green Party's unprecedented by-election victory in Gorton and Denton, a palpable shift in the political atmosphere has led to an emergency parliamentary decree demanding the immediate recall and sustainable disposal of all elected officials not explicitly affiliated with eco-conscious movements. The move, enacted with surprising speed, aims to align the nation's leadership with the 'inescapable verdant mandate' delivered by voters.

Dr. Quentin Fallow, Head of Applied Political Horticulture at the Institute for Advanced Composting Studies, stated, “This isn't just about a few extra seats; it's about the very carbon footprint of our legislative bodies. Non-green politicians, with their reliance on fossil-fuel-powered rhetoric and non-recyclable policy platforms, are now deemed a significant ecological hazard. We anticipate a 97.3% reduction in political hot air by Q3.”

Sources close to the newly formed 'Department of Sustainable Governance and Biodegradable Leadership' indicate that existing parliamentary furniture is also under review for its environmental impact. “We're exploring options for replacing all red and blue benches with ethically sourced, rapidly renewable bamboo,” confirmed Brenda 'Bramble' Thorn, Chief Officer of Verdant Transitioning. “The public has spoken: they want their leaders to decompose gracefully, not cling to power like an invasive species.”

Citizens are advised to report any sightings of non-compliant political figures attempting to evade collection by blending into urban shrubbery.
