The pied piper of national ruin



Joseph Dinnage has a topical CAPX piece on Zack Polanski. Worth reading, but if voters can't see through Polanski, there isn't much to hope for.


How to beat Zack Polanski

  • Like the pied piper of economic ruin, Zack Polanski is leading young people to misery
  • The British Right must learn from the Canadian Conservatives' success with young voters
  • You can’t blame the young for feeling sufficiently disenchanted to vote for a man nicknamed ‘hypnotits’

The Green Party’s victory in last week’s Gorton and Denton by-election was a grim indicator of where British politics could be heading. With 40% of the vote, Hannah Spencer won her campaign by stirring the pot of local sectarianism; releasing campaign videos in Urdu and Bengali, accusing the Government of funding ‘genocide’ in Gaza, and – most absurdly – claiming that ‘people like’ the Reform UK candidate Matthew Goodwin caused the Manchester arena bombing by ‘dividing people’.

You’ll notice that none of these strategies have anything to do with the environment. Under Zack Polanski’s leadership, the Greens have shifted from environmentalism to what French conservatives have termed Islamo-gauchisme – a fusion of traditional Leftism with the imported communal grievances of a growing Muslim population. Polanski has branded this the politics of ‘hope’, but of course this menacing ideology of economic self-destruction and social division is nothing of the sort.
