In the UK, Ed Gemmell launched a “Climate Party” to “take on 110 Conservatives in the next election”.
In the US, Andrew Yang is trying a “Forward Party”.
Is there any sense in this approach, or will such issue-specific parties inevitably be marginalized like other third parties in a first past the post electoral system?

Between 2005 and 2007 I completed an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. I worked for five years for the Canadian federal government, including completing the Accelerated Economist Training Program, and then completed a PhD in Political Science at the University of Toronto in 2023.
