Green Leader Zack Polanski Says It's 'Very Tempting' To Stand Against Starmer In His Seat
Zack Polanski and Keir Starmer
Zack Polanski has admitted he is “tempted” to stand against Keir Starmer in his London constituency of Holborn and St Pancras.
The Green leader has presided over a huge increase in party membership – more than 100,000 people have signed up since he was elected two months ago.
Polanski currently sits as a London Assembly member and is not an MP, but he has been open about wanting to run for a seat within parliament.
Pollsters at Find Out Now predicted last month that the Greens could win a whopping 51 seats (up from their current four MPs) – and could even oust the prime minister in a contest.
Starmer secured a majority of 11,572 (30%) in his constituency at the last election, but Labour have experienced a huge drop in popularity since getting into power.
