My biggest fear is an election of Greens V Reform - I will take anything else as long as Labour don’t veer further left as we are taxed enough. Liberals should be doing well.

Cathandkin · 03/05/2026 09:38

It's true how much they've changed, @ThatCyanCat . They seem to have become almost Stalinist with their dogma. Alarming attitudes to women. The current crop of antisemitic candidates is particularly shocking though.
God knows how or why they took this turn.

ThatCyanCat · 03/05/2026 09:35

That's an excellent article. I already knew a lot of the stuff in it but not all; hadn't realised the true depth to which the Greens have shat on women and just how authoritarian they've become, although it doesn't surprise me.

It's true, they bear absolutely no resemblance to the party they used to be. I wonder if any of the old guard will start a new party that actually encompasses what Greens are supposed to be. That'll probably get parasitised and destroyed as well.

It’s concerning that a significant minority think Polanski seems like someone you’d want as UK leader. His background is in community theatre and boob whispering. He doesn’t know the difference between the debt and the deficit. (Rest is Politics podcast)
He runs on sound bites and waffley optimistic drivel (make hope normal) which sadly is all too appealing for the many struggling with the cost of living. Yes inequality is awful and real. But there’s no actual strategy on how to deliver his vague promises. Taxing billionaires isn’t an answer alone.

Criticising police who bravely tackled a knifeman this week? Crazy. Polanski is guilty of fuelling as much division as what he says about Reform. Ethnic tensions in this country are worsening and he’s stoking the flames.

Oh, and check out how he’s treated women in the party over the trans issue. https://unherd.com/2025/10/the-green-partys-war-on-women/

Well, ZP has a point. He was already taserd. How does this make him evil exactly?

The man had been tasered

But it was taking another man to hold him down on the ground, and he was still waving the knife around and would not drop it when told

In many countries, he would've been shot dead.

I thought was ZP a nasty piece of work even before this

He’s talking about the police behaviour. Not Jewish people.

Aka Boob Bandit and Hypnotits.

The other day someone was trying to tell me I was totally absurd to think he's been parked there purely to sanitise the antisemitism. It was amazing. What qualified him, then? His great statesmanship? His economic know how? His dedication to principles? His commanding presence? His razor sharp wit on social media? His winning Hollywood smile?

As awful as he is, though, it's important to remember he's a smokescreen for the sinister stuff. Seems Mothin Ali is encouraging people to sue his own party for suspending them over all their antisemitism. Gosh.

Tbh, I think Reform are a much bigger threat, but antisemitism is such a massive problem now that the Greens could still do some damage. What will be really horrific is if Reform and the Greens realise they're two racist, country strangling shits in the same nappy and join forces.

Maybe it was his degree in Drama that makes him so suited to be a political leader.

All those PPE and Law degrees from other leaders get so boring after a while.

Why is he a disgrace to Judaism? Not all Jews think alike and you can be Jewish and anti-Zionist like Polanski.

When did you pass your taser training and is your PST up to date you seem to be an expert in disarming a knife carrying terrorist.

He allows antisemites in his party, and puts them forward for election.

He’s apologised because he’s been told to by his PR team I’m sure. He’s basically abhorrent and a disgrace to Judaism.

It isn't 'only' about anti semitism, the Greens cannot be trusted as they have joined the dishonest, manipulative cult of populism so have no integrity now whatsoever. Their policies are highly controversial anyway much like Reform and the lack of political experience and complete lack of care for the complex society and times we live in is highly concerning. The clear anti semitism is despicable but that ugly approach spans across everything they do.

I'm going to sound like a snob (who cares) but he studied Drama at Aberystwyth. Ok, not everyone needs to have done PPE at Oxbridge, but come on.
I'm inclined to agree, @ThatCyanCat . He's being used.

Great article. Why oh why aren’t people seeing it? The best hope now is to give Greens enough rope to trip themselves up.

Im just going to leave this extract from one of Hitlers early speeches here. People should look at some of the recent posts by Green Party members and really think about what they’re voting for

"If the international Jewish financiers in and outside Europe should succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war, then the result will not be the Bolshevization of the earth, and thus the victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe" (from his 1939 Reichstag speech).

I think he jumped on a possible “George Floyd” moment - there would be police brutality demos, with him on a stage leading the chants. He saw it all….. until his masters told him to zip it.

Good point

He absolutely is being used I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again he’s basically being treated as a front. Imagine if you wanted to pick someone to act as a front for an antisemite party who want to appeal to a “woke” vote, who might be the ideal candidate for that - a Jewish man )” how can we be antisemitic when our leader is Jewish) a gay man (“ look how liberal we are - please ignore the deputy leader who refused to support an LGBt group - nothing to see here). A resting actor, well he can play any part we want him to. Someone trained in hypnosis- literally someone who has trained in suggesting things to people’s unconscious in order to get them to change their beliefs and actions.

He’s just a front, it’s the people behind him we need to really pay attention to esp the deputy leader Mothin Ali, because any sniff of power, he will be the one in charge, whether Zachy boy realises it or not (Zach - if you’re reading this, look up what happened to the socialists in the 1979 Iranian revolution) if you’re considering voting Green I’d suggest people do the same - you’re not voting for what you think. Think back on all the people who voted Hitler into power. Look for patterns in history - where you put your cross has never mattered more. Even Labour are better than this. We need to move back to the centre

Oh my god, you're so right. Plus he's like a "pick me" girl, very true.
He's a fool, he's not clever enough to stay on top of all this rampant antisemitism.
