"Zack Polanski's sweary, brash and blunt victory video on social media said everything about how the Green Party of England and Wales is under new leadership. His landslide victory is the latest case study in how the political kaleidoscope between and within political parties has been given another colourful shake. Disillusionment with those parties perceived as part of the establishment, whatever that is and however people choose to define it, has been a headache first for the Conservatives and now for Labour."
"But it has been a boon for the plenty of others spared that perception, across the political spectrum. The challenge for Labour in particular, already under the cosh from Reform UK and Nigel Farage, is they now confront a cacophony of blunt-speaking, digitally-savvy communicators to their Left Jeremy Corbyn, Zarah Sultana and Zack Polanski among them nibbling away at an already shrivelling supporter base."
Zack Polanski won the Green Party of England and Wales leadership with a brash, sweary, blunt social media victory video, signalling a new leadership style. His landslide victory reflects shifting dynamics between and within political parties amid wider fragmentation. Disillusionment with parties perceived as establishment has benefitted smaller or outsider groups across the spectrum. Labour faces pressure from Reform UK and Nigel Farage on the right and from blunt, digitally-savvy left figures such as Jeremy Corbyn, Zarah Sultana and Zack Polanski. Gaza independents further erode Sir Keir Starmer's coalition. Greens and a new Corbyn/Sultana party risk competing for the same left-wing voters.
