It’s impossible to take the Greens seriously

It’s impossible to take the Greens seriously

Britain's newly announced leader of the Green Party, Zack Polanski, speaks following the announcement of the results of an internal leadership election, at a media event in central London on September 2, 2025. Britain's Green Party elected a self-styled "eco-populist" as its new leader on Tuesday, 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 multi-party system.
