Virginia Blackburn has written an opinion piece arguing that Green Party leader Zack Polanski has proven himself unfit for public office, calling him a "clown and a charlatan" and an "extraordinary choice" to lead a political party.
She claims he has allowed the party to be infiltrated by antisemites, betrayed Britain's Jewish population, and embraced hard-Left policies, such as abolishing landlords, that would bankrupt the country faster than Jeremy Corbyn would have managed.
Backlash and by-election defeat
Blackburn notes that the backlash against Polanski has begun, pointing to his loss in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election and falling support for the Greens, who she says have forgotten their environmental mission.
She suggests Green Party leaders have a short life expectancy, with constant stories of plots against Polanski from within the party and a growing sense of revulsion from the wider country.
Move back to two-party system
On the other side of the political spectrum, Blackburn describes a "tough-as-old-boots" Tory leader while Reform loses momentum. She dismisses Restore as a one-man vanity project and suggests the UK is moving back towards the two-party system that has served it well.
She draws a comparison with the Social Democratic Party formed in 1981, which briefly threatened to take over from Labour before imploding. Unlike the Greens, she notes, the SDP was not an extremist crowd, but it failed to connect with the public and disappeared.
Public disgust and return to normal
Blackburn argues the Greens are embracing policies the public finds disgusting, and she expects business as usual to resume very soon.
