Zack Polanski on the Green party boom – podcast
Three months into his leadership the Green party membership is surging. Randeep Ramesh explains why
Just three months ago, few people had heard of Zack Polanski – and, it seemed, only the party faithful cared who the leader of the Greens was. Now the Polanski surge looks unstoppable. He has more than doubled the party’s membership, bringing in much-needed money and volunteers.
Nosheen Iqbal went to watch him talk to students at King’s College London, and spoke to young people about what they thought of him and if he would get their vote. The replies were enthusiastic. Before he went on stage, Polanski told Nosheen why his message was so attractive. “It’s positive and it’s hopeful. This is what a different vision of a society looks like, where it’s not about multimillionaires and billionaires [but] people power.”
