This week, we're joined by Deputy Leader of The Green Party, Zack Polanski to understand more about The Green Party's policies and why a vote outside of the two-party system is important for diversity of political thought in Parliament. We also discuss some of the myths around the party and the recent allegations of anti-semitism and anti-Black racism.
In the spotlight: Zack Polanski, Deputy Leader of the Green Party. Check out his Twitter, IG and the Green Party manifesto.
