AIBU - GREEN party - Zack Polanski

Do you not think there is a huge risk the greens can actually do fuck all about prosperity, health, freedom and social cohesion if in power, but will then additionally trample all over women and their remaining rights on top of that quagmire of crap? That is far too big a risk for me, to vote for a party where this guy thinks breasts can be convinced to grow under hypnosis is in charge. Leave him with the economy and my right to single sex spaces?
No thanks. Turkeys voting for Christmas.

If you mean Roman, no. Zach and Polanski are both assumed names (stage name?). Can't remember his real name.

This. And people are gobbling it up!

They don’t want to leave NATO

I have voted (by post) Green in the past only because if I don't vote my door bell rings about 13 times on Polling Day by people from parties telling me to go to vote for them. They somehow know if one hasn't voted. Don't want to do that again so may just spoil my paper next time as there is no one I want to vote for especially this Polanski man ( any relation to Roland?).

VERY illuminating read! Thanks for posting.

I had no idea they were so anti women.

Never vote for someone who ignores really basic biology.

I won't vote Green again until they start to actually think, rather than repeat silly unscientific mantras.
They are meant to be left wing yet allegedly can't see the links between the 'trans rights' activists and large corporations - from pharma, through US health care, to all the corporations using it as an easy EDI point score which actually works against women, minorities, those with a disability, sustainability etc.
They clearly have no understanding of biology, but also no understanding of the inherent problems with current untrammelled global capitalism, and that is a very poor starting point for a party which allegedly wants to change things.

I loathe his views on single sex spaces & women’s rights.

I may well vote for him, however, because I believe that in the UK our rights, prosperity, health, freedom, democracy, job security, social cohesion & natural environment are being annihilated- deliberately destroyed by ‘politicians’ who aren’t really politicians at all, just corrupt paid lackeys of huge corporations & financial interests, asset stripping what’s left of our national infrastructure before they gleefully escape to their tax havens, leaving ordinary people impoverished, unhealthy, & desperate in a shattered society.

I disagree with ZP abour many things- but I think he’s a genuine politician, with a conscience, who wants to improve the lot of ordinary people. That means he can be reasoned with- whereas other ‘politicians’ are unprincipled lowlife, who can only be bought. All they listen to is money: I don’t think that’s true of him.

I also think the huge media campaign to ridicule & demonise him reflects this. Those who rule us really, really don’t want us realising where our real interests lie. We all need to be terrified of ‘Putin’ and ‘bad immigrants’ and ‘Farage’ while the ruling class cashes in & our children’s future is destroyed. Trans ideology is really useful in this respect; it’s a great way of dividing ordinary people, which is exactly why it has been pushed by so many huge financial institutions & corporations. It’s a weapon.

Don’t let them win.

How can environmental concerns and putting confused young people on cocktails of drugs because they don't fit gender stereotypes a consistent position anyway?

The Green Party is deluded and has completely lost it's way in favour of misogynistic pseudo religion.

And the Nato stuff is equally bonkers.

Like most of the Green Party he has a slim grasp of reality.
I bloody hate Lefty Woke Bros, biggest misoynists out with an added layer of hypocracy

Julie Bindel's article on the Greens and women. https://unherd.com/2025/10/the-green-partys-war-on-women/

I presume that poster has no understanding of what NATO actually is.

Fixed that for you.

Top post.

Those of us who are concerned about the environment are placing trust in scientists. The Green Party presumably do this. Yet when it comes to biological sex they've decided to ignore the settled science and pretend that sex is a spectrum, large numbers of people are neither male nor female, young children know they have been born in the wrong body, etc etc. It's utter nonsense and makes me doubt that they have any capacity for critical thought. The Scottish Greens went into coalition with the SNP and that was a disaster. I don't have any higher expectations of the England and Wales Greens. They won't get my vote again unless they make some enormous changes in their policies and stop banning long-standing members for believing in the reality and importance of biological sex.

If a failed actor and hypnotherapist floats your boat, go for it.

Sometimes I wonder if TRAs were funded by the right/ far right/ maybe even Russia in order to divide the “left”/ progressives around the world and put us at each others throats.

I’m certain Hamas have been in recent years.

You can never vote on one single issue - you’ve always got to work out which party best aligns to you across the board and vote for them. You don’t have to marry them.

Or you can stand yourself/ form your own party.

I don’t think I’ve ever agreed 100% with any party re anything.

Im not happy re the leaving NATO stance, nor do I think they’re right re gender issues. I like their positions on billionaires and social justice, and the environment.

I’ll have to see how things look come the next election!

Yup. He's a grifter.

There was another thread the other day from Daygloboo saying how great ZP was and didn't we all agree.......we did not! 😂

As was commented on there loads of people saying they knew nothing about him till these threads and now they see all the dangerous nonsense he comes out with. It has been very informative.

NATO is a defensive alliance. Palestine is not a member so why would NATO get involved?

He calls himself a 'proud lesbian' which is a fucking horrible thing for a man to do. He also has socials filled with sissy porn. He thinks being a woman is so humiliating it gives him a hard on. That's fucking horrible.

The Greens policy positions are rainbows and unicorns, they live in a fantasy world. They don't understand life is full of trade-offs and compromises.

They want you to have stuff - benefits, housing, nature, etc. - but it has to be perfectly delivered. A few rich have an infinite well of cash to pay for it all (yes, there is a case for specific higher taxes when Rishi Sunak's tax rate is half my tax rate). Not a blade of grass or newts/ bats/ badgers must be disturbed in building a house or or any infrastructure.

I joined the green party decades ago because of my serious concerns about the environment, which at the time nobody but the green party was taking seriously. I think that, before they were the green party they were associated with the ecology party. I’m not sure about that.

I never expected that they would turn into the party that they have become and I will not vote for them until they change their bizarre policies and refocus on the environment and climate change. Having said that, my admiration for Caroline Lucas is unchanged.

My view is that we need sensible people on the left who are prepared to challenge the position on gender. So if you like what the greens are saying, consider joining them, and become a voice for women from within the party.

I've seen what is done to women (and men) who try to do that.

A lot of us have been following the shitshow that is the green party for years. ZP is now doubling down hard.

Even if I could put aside the greens' insane belief that men are women if they say so, even if I could ignore ZP's stated policies of legislating to reverse the supreme court decision and to reverse the ban on puberty blockers, I cannot support a party that operates in such an anti-democratic way or one that has such little respect for the law.

I'm just surprised they are not yet bankrupt.

Cringe
I defy anyone to watch the first 10 seconds of this official Green Party video and not cringe themselves inside out. The tiktok tit wizard's public persona is as calculated and cynical as those created by Boris or Farage.
