“His politics are closer to the far-left than the Liberal Democrats he once stood for”
Though the rise in popularity of Reform UK has hogged the headlines, the increase in popularity of the Green Party has been as consistent as the fall from grace of Keir Starmer’s Labour.
Are they just a harmless bunch of harmless vegetarian eco-fanatics? Let’s have a look. Zack Polanski has been the Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales since September this year.
After changing his name from David Paulsen, university followed and then a career in the Arts. He worked a variety of roles, including actor and director. Polanski also sang for the London International Gospel Choir. One must wonder why he didn’t call himself out for cultural appropriation.
He then famously worked as a hypnotherapist, getting caught out by The Sun trying to make a reporter’s breasts grow larger. It’s all in the mind, apparently.
Policy-wise, Polanski has advocated for increasing taxes on billionaires, renationalising water companies, challenging governments for what he sees as insufficient subsidy on net zero policies and regulating private corporations even more. His politics are closer to the far-left than the Liberal Democrats he once stood for.
Given their leader’s political views as eco-populist, linking broad issues like high costs of living and the climate crisis as both being caused by the wealthy, it seems the Green Party is a serious threat to the UK economy. Green not through anything to do with the environment, but rather, envy!
