Zack Polanski’s entire appeal rests on the claim that he’s a better communicator.
But: in the Today programme debate - & that programme is always the ultimate challenge - between him & Adrian Ramsay just now, it was clear Adrian won the debate.
Where does that leave Zack’s campaign?

Adrian Ramsay superb on Today on the absolute necessity for the Green Party to make a genuinely broad appeal. Astutely points out that the explicit ‘99% vs 1%’ appeal made by Polanski does not resonate even with most Left voters, let alone with most voters who don’t self-identify as ‘Left’.

This is a key table to understanding public opinion on migration. *When confronted with the real trade offs* people go for protecting the NHS and the economy over reducing migration.
The problem as per the rest of the thread is many don't believe those trade offs exist.

When presented economy vs immigration trade-offs, Britons typically opt for economic benefit over lower migration
Those who support requiring large nos of migrants to leave would pick fully staffing NHS over reducing immigration, but economic arguments hold less sway
