UK Greens elect 'eco-populist' as new leader

Zack Polanski wants to make party as noisy as Reform UK

- 

Britain’s Green Party elected a self-styled “eco-populist” as its new leader yesterday, as the group seeks to gain traction by exploiting dissatisfaction with the Labour government among left-wing voters.

Zack Polanski, a former actor, wants to make the Greens as noisy on the left as Nigel Farage’s anti-immigrant Reform UK party is on the right as British politics fractures into a multiparty system.
