If the Greens really are to become the Reform-style populists of the left, Zack Polanski could be their man | Owen Jones

R.The Labor Party is “unnamedly luck Adapted in this newspaper A few days ago. This may seem very harsh on the wealth of the vegetables: After all, they jumped from One to four deputies In the last elections, I am the Minister of Ministers in light of the work in this process, and now it boasts Record 859 consultants Via 181 councils. But even with the explosion of the Kiir Starmer government in his position-before everything due to the discounts in supporting the state for the elderly and the disabled-the Greens have been looked at the ballot boxes, with the position of Nigel Faraj, which right the right-wing of the right as a major bowl of popular bonding.

Can this change finally? Zach Polanski, the party’s deputy leader and sit at the London Association, I launched a senior job offerWith the stadium, the transformation of the equipment in the strategy. Bolanski was on a trip: Once he was a liberal democratic activist, he is now firmly firmly to the left of the party and provides a clear popular message clearly. This is not a revolution in itself – the party The spirit of democracy is super democracy Leading elections are imposed every two years – but Polanski clearly defies the party’s institution. He tells me that the vegetables need a person “challenging wealth and power” and speak “clearly and unusually” when doing this.

Bolanski is keen not to criticize the current participating leaders, and the newly elected representatives of Carla Carla and Adrian Ramsey, but I think he is aware that the party has a problem with COMMS. Whatever you think about Farage, it is clear that he has a cut and unacceptable message as it promotes. On the other hand, vegetables such as RINES often encountered the policy of intentional and policy, instead of rebellion. It may seem that you are in the era of anger is impressive, but it only takes you. It seems that Polanski understands this. “We will have to choose battles and they will be correct and not only fight for fighting,” he says.

Bolanski’s supporters certainly see its offer to provide a possible reset. Steve Jackson joined the party only a few months ago, but he became a prominent activist, and it is burned to emphasize the electoral success of Green. But “the party has failed to reach its capabilities so far,” it admits. I wonder, though, if the vegetable culture is a problem. The party is not rooted in class policy and has a reputation in its very middle class. “I don’t think it is a cultural issue like the structural issue, which can be overcome,” says Jackson, who indicates increasing numbers of the numbers of the working -class green consultants. The party’s focus on democracy is what is given by hope. “It can come and change it or meet other people who are similar to thinking, defend the right things and push them in the right direction.”

Mother Ali is an example of a working green color: a Leeds consultant, who is also a Muslim representative in the party. He sees that Polanski is “natural connected and a natural person for natural people”, but he accepts that the party “has always felt the middle class and felt a little far away.” Changing this, as he thinks, means changing the vegetable approach and “do not try to be the beloved person in the room. We do not need to be concerned about annoying certain groups in order to communicate our message.” This is definitely an important challenge to the vegetables. Varage, like Donald Trump, seems to enjoy fiery storms with his interventions, ride subsequent anger and refuse to give up in an inch. The result is that, year after year, he forced the national political conversation to his terrain.

This means that there is no policy of politics: after all, this is a political party, not suffocating thinking. “We are a group of people who are really proud to develop our policies,” says London politician Green Zoe Garbit, who developed. Drug repair position. But Garbett confirms that when developing this platform, it has always had how to consider it. For her, the challenge is not to connect “fragmented political parts” but to ask: “What is the collective vision of the country?”

In theory, the vegetables can pose a major threat to work, After it came in second place Behind labor In 39 electoral districts. What made this achievement more impressive was that there were few campaigns in those seats – many voters who were disappointed by the Labor Party on Green without knowing who their candidate was. But with the removal of the conservatives by the UK reform, the risk of a new message from the Labor Party waving on the horizon: voting on the vegetables risks the status of Farraj in Issue 10. The “National Popular Base Movement” is Bolanski’s answer to this – and in other words, a collective membership campaign includes activists in local communities and adopts a strong, non -curable click.

In fact, we have seen the extent of the conservative voters who abandoned their previous political homeland; And a large segment of exhaustion Voters may never forgive the party to reduce deficit subsidies or continue to support the genocide of Israel in Gaza. The main challenge of Polanski is definitely vision. The scene of the media will always be hostile, but the distinguished social media strategy in Greens represents a lost opportunity: just professionalism, as well as following a combat approach and discipline of messages, it will certainly calculate a lot. In Germany, Loftwing Die Link avoids the political death expected in the recent elections by placing itself as a fixed deduction from the far-right AFD-in a similar way, Bolanski focuses on many of his attacks on reform, while the action raids are Farage and Policies.

Bolanski will have to prove himself: he has not won the parliamentary elections, a member of the London Association because of the list of the list, which gives the seats of the parties for its comprehensive power. However, Garbett emphasizes that it is “an essential part of our campaigns in London and patriotism”, and it wanders all over the country to support the winning candidates. He will definitely need the enthusiasm of the campaign. There is an increasingly permanent circle of disappointment to the left of the Labor Party: But now, it has been divided and frustrated. Polanski is the best bet for Greens to convert it – but it will not be an easy task.
