| Green Party takes a wrong turn | With the election of Zack Polanski by an overwhelming 85 per cent vote, the Green Party of England and Wales has stepped decisively into the trap of becoming a green version of the Socialist Workers Party. Polanski is half right about the opportunity for the Greens as a "populist" alternative to the mainstream parties, a "left-wing" counter to Nigel Farage's success on the other side. But he has chosen the wrong half. Instead of a broad-based Fotherington-Thomas pitch ("hullo birds, hullo sky") based on action against climate change, he has gone for the full anti-capitalist common front with Zarah Sultana. Maybe the voters won't pay much attention to the details, and will just think "green is good" and "Jeremy Corbyn is a sincere and well-meaning chap". Maybe the red-green alliance will sweep all before it. But I don't think so. | |
