Just seen party political broadcast by the Green Party. Zack Polanski telling it like it is. Billionaires taking rhe pee out of the rest of us while they make money for doing nothing. And if we tax them we get told they' ll leave. Well good. I'll buy them a ticket and give them a map. At last a politician who isn't mealy mouthed. Am I right or am I right. Stuff Reform. Long live Zack.

He wants to take us out of NATO...

North Korea doesn't have any millionairs too but it doesn't mean the population is any better off, a normal society has a variation between rich and poor, and the rich here are taxed a lot, in fact more millionairs are leaving the UK than are leaving China so we are loosing their tax revenue. Why is that good? It just increases the tax burden on the rest of us.

He also wants to ban landlords and private renting which would mean 17 million people would have to be re-housed by the state, more stateism and central control.
It's got a lot more in common with Communism than environmentalism these days, Communism has been a flat out disaster everywhere it's been tried though.

He thinks men who claim to be women are actual women, and any woman who disagrees with him is a bigot.

Yes some things i dont feel completely OK with..I am a bit of a big stick person than carrot person when it comes to defense..

I dont fully agree with the millionaire thing though. I dont believe in trickle down economics. It's been exposed that the mire people.make , the more they want to find tax loopholes to salt it all away. It's just greed and is unnecessary. They lose perspective.

He thinks he can make womens tit's grow with his mind. The man is a misogynistic maniac

FrivolousKitchenRollUse · 06/10/2025 19:29

Heard him for 10 minutes on R4. Might have been any questions. Not a long spell granted but came across as dangerous. Doesn't know the difference between men and women, and has really dangerous views on defence. Seemed to think he'd be able to talk everyone into world peace if Trump just shut up.

MinnieCauldwell · 06/10/2025 19:31

Zero respect for that man after the 'stallgate' affair at the party conference. He himself has zero respect for women. Unless of course they are a very special type of laydee....

I don't think billionaires sit around doing nothing!

Yes i agree about the defence.thing. But I like the way he doesn't suck up to the most popular opinions but is realistic.

I suspect that Zack can tell it how it is because the Greens are so batshit on many other issues that they stand zero chance if getting anywhere near power. I think the truth is that governments all over the world are more beholden to billionaire party donors than they are to the electorate. The idea that governments are committed to enacting policy which serves the needs of their populations is only for the deluded.

I agree with some of what he says but he thinks it is "horrific" that men who imagine they are women are to be banned from women's single sex spaces. He's made it clear he doesn't give a fuck about women or women's rights and is happy to prioritise men's desires over women's safety so he won't be getting my vote.

What’s his stance on moobs? Can’t they be increased by boob whispering too?

ShesTheAlbatross · 06/10/2025 19:40

I’m always wary of politicians who people describe as “telling it like it is”. It always seems to mean “lacks any sense of nuance”.

Didn't he also claim he can increase the size of women's breasts througj the power of his mind?

He sucks up to the second most popular.

Alconleigh · 06/10/2025 19:43

The Greens have set out their stall as hating women for some time now, and he’s not breaking with party tradition there. So no thanks.

I listened to a laughable interview with him a couple of weeks ago where he tried to say it was absolutely correct that Graham Lineham should have been arrested for his tweet. But also that it was absolutely awful that someone should be arrested for a Palestine action sign.
A journalist who was a guest on the same show tried to point out that really if he’s arguing free speech for those with Palestine Action signs, he should maybe be a bit less militant about Lineham. But he wasn’t having it.

TonTonMacoute · 06/10/2025 19:45

He's completely bat shit. There is not one single problem in this country to which he is the solution.

Fatcatsinspats · 06/10/2025 19:46

As he believes men can turn into women, I cannot take anything he says seriously. Then he’s also a sleaze who thinks he can inflate women’s breast size with hypnosis…
