Latest News about Zack Polanski
Zack Polanski publicly defended the Green Party's decision to adopt a 'Zionism is racism' policy motion passed at the party's conference. He said he would not seek to overturn the motion, but would seek to amend it at the first opportunity, noting that under party rules it remains policy until at least 2028. The row came as an Ipsos survey in October found 52 per cent of the public held an unfavourable view of him.
Zack Polanski was elected leader of the Green Party of England and Wales with 84.1% of the vote in the 2025 leadership election, defeating the joint ticket of Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns. The result marked a significant shift in the party's direction and elevated him from deputy leader to the top role.
