Why is every journalist and politician asking Zack Polanski to stand down?
He's tripled the party's membership and he's just got the Green's second highest performance in a by-election, taking ten times more votes than the party did under Caroline Lucas, so why are they pretending things are getting worse for the Greens?
Do you really think they're concerned for the welfare of the party? Or do you think they're more concerned that the Greens are finally influencing the country's political direction? Answer honestly.
Prior to Polanski, the government only felt pressure from the right and that kept the conversation exactly where media moguls and billionaires wanted it to be.
Suddenly, Polanski shifted the conversation in the other direction, and instead of talking about how bad Muslims and immigrants are all the time, and how we couldn't afford to do anything other than slash welfare, we were talking about the cost of living, issues that affect real people, and our government's complicity in genocide.
Keir Starmer is a war criminal who had no answers to the problems people were facing. He offered only managed decline and contempt for workers. The moment we started having conversations that exposed that, his government collapsed.
If it wasn't for Polanski, we'd still be stuck with a prime minister who completely ignores the needs of ordinary people. We now have a prime minister in Andy Burnham who at least pretends to listen and who will make some concessions.
This is only happening because of Polanski's leadership. If the Labour government returns to letting us down like it did under Starmer, the Greens are there to fill that void. Labour knows they can no longer afford to ignore our concerns.
The Greens are ensuring the people who aren't supposed to have representation under neoliberalism are heard.
The last thing the establishment wants is for those voices to grow louder and turn into real power. They see Zack Polanski as a threat to the status quo in a way they don't with any other political leader.
All of the politicians who've spent years letting us down are joining ranks with the media who've poisoned our political discourse to bring down one man. That should tell you everything you need to know about who is on your side.
