  Why report on this now? The article even acknowledges that this happened last month.

  Because the outlet was writing articles on other topics. It’s still interesting to discuss since they’re going to be leader for years.

  ‘UK Green Party’, Polanski was elected leader of the Green Party of England and Wales.

  Those 2 constituent countries fly under the Union Jack.

    Oh fuck off with this ignorance.

    The Scottish Greens and The Green Party of England and Wales are not the same and have no official association.

    The Scottish Greens officially declared no longer working with GPEW several years ago because of their transphobic stance. They also have different economic outlooks. The Scottish Greens lean towards socialism while the GPEW has a lot of ex Tories.

    The Scottish Greens are also pro independence, so do they fuck fly under the Union Jack.

    Yes there’s hope now that the GPEW will move more towards a socialist stance but that doesn’t make them the same.

    Only one year, unless he’s re-elected. The GPEW hold leadership elections every 2 years, but it was postponed last year so as to not coincide with the general election.

    It’s still inaccurate to call them ‘the UK’s Green Party’ as both Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own Green parties which are separate from the GPEW.
