Can Polanski's Greens turn momentum into power?

Zack Polanski's leadership has brought a surge in Green Party membership, with a shift towards a more assertive and controversial approach. The party aims to capitalize on this momentum to attract disillusioned voters and counter rising right-wing populism. With a focus on bold messaging and strategic targeting of urban constituencies in the UK, the Green Party is gearing up for the 2026 local elections to test its electoral strength and aims to transition from protest politics to a serious political force.
