Polanski and the rise of the Green Party in the UK

As he is willing to stand up and be counted, he politely takes no rubbish from other politicians and is charismatic (though that is not necessarily that important) Polanski is riding in public opinion. The Greens are now 4th in the list of parties ahead of the Lib Dem’s. Are they just a flash in the pan or can they make a real difference?

    As a Green, I hope he can make a real difference. People are certainly joining the Green Party in droves.

    This. I joined the Greens some years ago, though sadly I can't physically help with canvassing, or go to meetings. Still, my support in terms of £££ helps the party to carry on its forward march! An email from them recently said that membership had increased from 65000 to 100000 in recent months.

    Mr Polanski is certainly a welcome breath of fresh air in UK politics.

    Of course, Polanski is leader of the Green Party of England and Wales. But, his influence extends across borders, he addressed the Scottish Green Party Conference a few years ago (just before a vote, which he acknowledged represented real issues within GPEW, to break formal links between the parties). Look out for an announcement shortly regarding SGP membership ...

    Any relation at all to Roman Polanski?
