Spoiler: of the existing parties (i.e. not including Your proto-Party), the #GreenParty wins by a league.

My new piece.
'As UK politics turns both right and left, how do we get degrowth onto the agenda?'
The problem is that neither of the two main British left alternatives (#GreenParty and nascent #YourParty) appears to be sufficiently facing up to the fundamental issue of

Out of curiosity, I just watched the 3'39" video on the front of the Green Party web site, which turned out to be themed primarily on what it means to be "super rich". Really good video overall, I thought.
I especially wanted to highlight one phrase which stood out to me:
"Since the pandemic began".
A lot of people would have said "Since the pandemic" or "during the pandemic" - as if it were over now.
I'm thinking: _Someone_ on his team knows the difference. I'm not saying it's definitely ZP himself, I expect he takes input from colleagues on the speech-writing, but still. _Someone_ there knows the pandemic is still happening.
There's an allusion to air quality as well.
Thank you whoever that was!

If Zack Polanski continues to perform as well as this, he’ll go far. And take the #GreenParty with him.

CBC reporting that Elizabeth May has said she will be voting for the budget tonight. Which means the Liberals only need one more vote for it to pass, or for two MPs to abstain.
Seems unlikely we will have an election from this budget vote... but you never know!

Content warning: Green Party / Zack Polanski
Just caught up with Zack Polanski's "landslide" win. That's the most hopeful I've felt about UK politics in a while!
A while back, I watched a video of him being interviewed, and he seems like a no-nonsense kind of person.
"Zack Polanski has been elected leader of the Green Party of England and Wales by a landslide, signalling a clear shift to the left for the party.
"The London Assembly member beat Green MPs Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns, who were standing on a joint ticket, by 20,411 votes to 3,705."

Update, someone pointed me at this video with a rather sensible actual policy on "Covid and Long Covid" from the Greens! Yay :-)

This youtube link should be cued up to the 21m50s mark when she starts her inaugural speech as leader!
Big Congrats to her!
