This is good, from @meadwaj.bsky.social. "Greens are a leftwing, eco-populist party ... [and currently] the political leadership of the left in England ... What Polanski calls “eco-populism” is exactly the new politics this moment demands." #Eco-Populism #GreenParty novaramedia.com/2025/09/03/z...

Zack Polanski’s Win Is the Kick up the Arse the Left Needs

That said, I don’t expect the mainstream media to immediately warm to him. Tbh indifference is par for the course.

#Polanski believes he can make #EcoPopulism a force to contend with…to stand up to the likes of Farage’s Reform. But that will require media acknowledgment that his party even exists most of the time.

Both the Greens and Reform have 4 MPs…but the media coverage is poles apart.

How can he change that situation?

The Ed Davey stunt approach or rallies? My guess is latter.

Finally cast my vote in the #GreenParty leadership ballot.

My first choice went to #AdrianRamsey and #EllieChowns

I think they are the leadership team most likely to appeal to the cross-section of voters who will ensure more #GPEW MPs in future elections, and more Green councillors locally.

Was happy to put #ZackPolanski as my 2nd choice as I do think he’d make an interesting if risky leader. Who knows, perhaps his idea of #EcoPopulism might catch on? I just can’t quite see it

#EcoPopulism - I don't like the sound of that. #populism means promising false simple "solutions" to complex problems. And these days it is basically a euphemism for #fascism, and we don't want to be seen near that. looks like Zack wants to join labour and the tories in trying to out-reform Reform. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/may/05/green-deputy-zack-polanski-launches-leadership-bid-with-uk-eco-populism-vision #GreenParty #UKpolitics

Naomi Klein hits some nails in the head (capitals are mine):

"We need to focus on environmental policies that are ALSO about economic redistribution, that show in concrete terms that YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHOOSE between the environment, your family and your wallet."

"Choose two or three things you can win on, and win on them! Then people will begin to feel HOPEFUL again."
