UK's Zack Polanski understands the most basic rule of messaging: if you want to touch a nerve, you have to touch a nerve. Of course they're coming after him and of course his Green Party is rising in polls and members.

The right can mock my teeth all it wants – it shows the Greens have struck a nerve | Zack Polanski
As a politician, I expect opposition and debate. But when it centres on personal insults, not policies, something else is going on, says the leader of the Green party, Zack Polanski

Hear hear. The Tories created or exacerbated many of the problems we are experiencing today. They are an increasingly irrelevant political party.
@zackpolanski.bsky.social and @greenparty.org.uk have far better answers & policies.

Dear @BBCNews we don't want to hear Jenrick's drivel on Radio 3 news. He has no right to speak about prisons, given the Tories left the overcrowding that results from destroying public services and offering no solution except "lock them up". Why not interview Zack Polanski instead, for a better way?

The adoption of PR is long overdue.
It will ensure everyone's vote is valued. PR will also improve voter satisfaction and strengthen our democracy.

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform....
Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally.
It's time for Proportional Representation.
