The Green Party of England and Wales has drawn international criticism following a motion that labels Zionism as racism, leading to Israel's ban on party leader Zack Polanski. This motion, which advocates for a single democratic Palestinian state, reflects a shift in the party's focus from environmental issues to broader left-populist politics.
The internal dynamics of the party are now under scrutiny, as many elected officials oppose the motion while the membership supports it. This situation may lead to further disputes between party policy and the positions of its MPs, who currently have the freedom to vote independently due to the absence of a whipping system.
