Zack Polanski's Greens could rock Labour in London as 'Zohran Mamdani beat old Democrats' in New York


The Green Party could 'easily' win hundreds of seats in London at the May local elections, says local government expert Professor Tony Travers

Zack Polanski’s Green Party could storm to local election success against Labour in London as Zohran Mamdani beat the Democratic establishment in New York, says a leading expert...

Tony Travers, Professor of Local Government at the LSE, believes Labour risks losing half its seats, some 600, in the capital in the May local elections.



It's not immediately obvious if this would be better, worse or much the same for Londoners. Probably worse if Green politics and the general trend of UK politics are any guide.

The only silver lining seems to be a possibility that voters might work out how much damage is embedded in Green politics before the next general election...

...no I don't think it's likely either.

A gay, Jewish conman hopes to win elections by attracting the support of Moslem voters? Has he really thought this through or does he have a masochistic desire to be thrown off a high building?

You only have to visit Sodom on Sea, otherwise known as Brighton to see what will happen to London when the ignorati put the greens in charge. Gawd help us London tax payers!

dearieme - he strikes me as a shallow chancer enjoying himself at the moment. I hope nobody shouts "avoid high buildings" at any of his meetings.

Mike - I don't know London very well, but I sometimes wonder if it can survive the ignorati in the longer term.

And Jews are supposed to be intelligent. Well that one isn't. Nor are any members of the Green Party.

Tammly - I agree he isn't and they aren't. He's more like a cult leader than a politician.
