Zack Polanski, leader of the Green Party, is under scrutiny following a by-election loss in a historically Labour stronghold and a contentious party motion labeling Zionism as a form of racism. Despite the party's recent growth, internal dissent is rising, with some members questioning Polanski's leadership and judgment.
The by-election results, while not a total setback, have raised concerns about the party's momentum. Polanski's comments on the Zionism motion have further complicated his position, as he navigates criticism from within the party and the broader political landscape, including remarks from former leader Caroline Lucas.
