Green Party Leader Polanski Launches Policy Review Amid Growing Support

Green Party leader Zack Polanski is conducting a sweeping review of the party's policy platform to remove unpopular proposals as support for the movement grows. The party, now with 226,000 members (up from 20,000), won its first parliamentary by-election in February and is fighting for second place behind Reform UK.
