After watching Zack Polanski on Laura K this morning … how could anyone put their faith in him as a leader? None of the other party leaders are without fault!!! But he comes over as a vacuous, self promoting individual … The Green Party has changed!

As the Greens really aren't pitching for the granny vote I don't suppose he'll lose any sleep over this thread grin

What did the green MP say that was any different? Something about if you are poor or something else, I hear you. All newly elected MP's say that or something like it. I will see how she performs.

I could never vote for him after learning more about the Green Party policies on hard drugs, open borders and women. They don't believe in biological sex and support self identification for trans people. He is not a serious person.

Ex Lib Dem, now proto communist leader of the most divisive party in uk politics.

I wonder why he hasn’t had his teeth sorted? Despite the lack of nhs dentists, it’s rare for people in the public eye to neglect dental hygiene.

I'm not sure about him yet. I think the election result was a good thing though, our politics needs a shake-up and I agree that we have targetted the wrong people as the enemy for too long.
However, I think the Greens may have replaced the LibDems who were always good at winning by-elections but then getting voted out at the GE. I also think that like the LibDems they will promise everything but deliver on nothing.
We shall just have to see if they can sustain their gain, but they have a lot of lessons to learn in the meantime.
Anyparty that beats Reform has my support, though and I congratulate them on their win.

I don't like the man but am amazed at all the comments on his appearance. If this was a case of men commenting on how a female politician looks we would all be up in arms and rightly so - what's the difference???
If you don't like his policies, his attitude or his lack of common sense etc that's fine but really imo pretty low to comment on his appearance.

I admire him immensely. And will vote green

Me too

His appearance should not be up for discussion, I like him.

Mad Zack went for the Muslim vote . As a Jew he will soon find out what they want in return. Sharia law and exemption from UK laws for starters. Greens are no longer the party that used to concern itself with environmental issues.

Look him up on Wikipedia. It makes interesting reading.

Zack doesnt have any real ideas about economics,vital for a leader.

What can you say about a man who changed his name to Zach Polanski?

Is he the love child of the infamous Roman Polanski ?

He is a real wannabe and grade one tosser.

Yaawnnnnn🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱

To be fair it was his family surname but they changed it to escape anti semitism.

I voted Green at a local level but have no desire to see them with their current policies in power at a National Level.

I did not vote for them locally but they formed a coalition with Labour anyway.

Some of their decisions re the environment and building locally have been hypocritical.

We need a completely different mindset to deal with today's world problems. So far none of the traditional parties have come close to finding a way through these issues. For the most part there seems to be a lot of burying heads in the sand about our current crisis. Maybe the Greens offer something that shows a more holistic and interconnected way of approaching a world crisis.

icanhandthemback Mon 02-Mar-26 15:27:46

Not only that, he wants to legalise hard drugs, crack cocaine, Heroin and the date rape drug...

This is a huge reason not to have him in power. Wherever I have been in the world where drugs have been legalised, it has been awful. We watched people openly jacking up whilst eating our meal in a restaurant. Do we really want our children exposed to such behaviour. The addicts didn't trouble us on the whole although they were frightening with their shouting and screaming as they were coming down. However, when they were high, they were just like statues and it was horrible.

Migration hasn't really worked either. In an ideal world, I would love to see all borders taken away but we don't live in an ideal world. Without integrating everything properly it would be a disaster and we know just how the powers currently manage that.

I voted Green at a local level but have no desire to see them with their current policies in power at a National Level.

Now we really are getting some sense on here

Romola Mon 02-Mar-26 15:12:16

The Green Party is basically the new Jeremy Corbyn party (what's it called?).

I saw him on Last Leg and got the impression that he would rather be a comedian than a politician.

Robin202 Mon 02-Mar-26 15:03:13

Would you trust a guy to lead the country, who persuaded women he could enlarge their breasts through hypnosis?

Not only that, he wants to legalise hard drugs, crack cocaine, Heroin and the date rape drug and also prostitution/sex work - says it should be like any other service: hairdressing, nail bars etc. Just imagine the fallout from that - sex traffickers would be rubbing their hands with glee.
He also wants to offer illegal migrants free housing, healthcare and a wage and is a believer in free borders.

When I see him on tv I’m very aware of his drama background. He is a showman and I sometimes think he uses his appearance for effect. He was in the LibDems for a long time but switched to the Greens.

Awful man 👨 😞 not like him first time seen him angry

I find him sound and he has stood up very well in debates etc. He does make sure of his facts and at least has genuine beliefs. If he looked like Robert Redford or George Clooney I guess by the comments here he might get more votes from people here.

'Sure of his facts' - you mean like how he thinks a woman can have a penis?
