Huge congratulations to Zack Polanski, new leader of the Green Party, elected with a truly resounding majority earlier today. And what a campaign it was! Green Party leadership elections take place every couple of years and, frankly, they’re often closer to a coronation than a competition. Not this time.
All of the candidates, Polanski, together with MPs Ellie Chowns and Adrian Ramsay, who were making a co-leadership bid, have spent four months criss-crossing the country, speaking to packed public meetings, appearing at noisy hustings, and dashing to studios for in-depth TV debates.
