I will unite the British left. This is how | Zack Polanski interview

Seán and Ava are joined at JOETowers by Zack Polanski, deputy leader of the Green Party and candidate in their upcoming leadership race. With ambitions to reshape the party into a more dynamic, combative, eco-populist force, Zack shares his bold vision for uniting the British Left and making the Greens a serious political contender.

He argues that the Green Party must move beyond its perception as a single-issue party and instead offer a coherent progressive alternative that champions environmental, social, and economic justice. He outlines a platform that includes progressive taxation, nationalising water companies, lowering household bills, and investing in communities neglected by both Labour and the Conservatives. He also discusses the importance of strong, values-led storytelling and a much more active media strategy that puts Green values front and centre in public debate.

The conversation also touches on the internal structure of the Green Party, its unique lack of party whips, and how that shapes its democratic approach to politics. He also lays out how the Greens can win over voters from across the political spectrum and why he believes he can beat Nigel Farage at the next election.
