Zack Polanski delivering his party conference speech

The Green Party of England and Wales has hit another milestone. The party’s membership has now doubled since Zack Polanski was elected as leader.

This means the Greens are now significantly bigger than both the Tories (123,000), and the Lib Dems (83,174). It also means the party is bigger than it has ever been before.

When the Greens surpassed the Tories, Polanski said: “This milestone shows that people are ready for something new. The old two-party system is broken. The Green Party is growing because we speak to the real challenges of this moment, and it’s clear that with our message, people can see that politics can be a force for good.”
