the Green Socialist: Zack Polanski and Battle For Britain’s Future

An essential roadmap for understanding the rise of the Greens and the socialist leader transforming British politics The election of Zack Polanski to the leadership of the Green Party of England and Wales caused a political earthquake. While Labour haemorrhages support, the far-right rises and a new anti-capitalist party struggles to be born, Polanski has seized the initiative, resulting in record-breaking membership numbers and polling for the Greens. How did Polanski end up being propelled to power on an unprecedented mandate within the membership of the Green Party? And what can he achieve from this position? The Green Socialist takes a look at the Greens through the lens of its tensions, limitations and contradictions, demonstrating that Polanski is the natural culmination of the party's story so far, and how it can provide a vehicle for a transformational politics capable of defeating the far-right and building a better Britain.
