Zack Polanski, a prominent figure within the Green Party, aims to strengthen the party’s foothold in Yorkshire as he pursues leadership. With membership surpassing 80,000, Polanski notes a significant growth of one-third in recent months, highlighting the party’s increased appeal.
Green Party’s Recent Achievements
In the previous year, the Green Party achieved a milestone by securing four seats in Parliament. However, all those seats are located south of Birmingham. Polanski is focused on changing this by ensuring that the party establishes a presence in the North.
Goals for Yorkshire
Polanski is determined to enhance the Green Party’s visibility and influence in Yorkshire. He has outlined specific targets for the upcoming council elections in May.
- Increase representation in Bradford
- Expand influence in Leeds
- Strengthen presence in Sheffield
He believes that the party is currently experiencing a momentum that can lead to significant growth across the region. Polanski is adamant about securing at least one Member of Parliament in the North and possibly more.
With a growing membership and strong ambitions, the Green Party under Polanski’s leadership is poised to make impactful strides in Yorkshire and beyond.
