Council house for Queen, say Greens The Queen could move into a council house, the leader of the Green Party has suggested as a result of her plans to abolish the monarchy.

The party has benefited from a membership surge and the broadcasters have now invited Ms Bennett to take part in two televised debates ahead of the general election in recognition of its popularity – and David Cameron’s insistence that the Greens be included following the decision to let Ukip’s Nigel Farage take part.
