Zack Polanski looks set to become a painful thorn in Starmer's side - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"The Green Party performs particularly well with voters on 'knowing what it stands for' (+20), 'having a clear sense of purpose' (+13) and being 'united' (+12). However, they perform most poorly on 'being ready for government' (-31), 'representing what most people think' (-19), and being 'trusted to take big decisions' (-17). The Greens' leader, Zack Polanski, is currently the most popular party leader with voters at net -1, with the Lib Dems' Ed Davey close behind on net -4."
"Meanwhile, nearly two in five (39%) voters say Starmer's comments in an interview with the Observer - where he labelled the Green Party "nuts" and "dangerous" - were fair, compared to a third (33%) who thought they were unfair. 2024 Labour voters are split on the comments (+11 net fairness), whereas those currently supporting Labour supporters back Starmer more strongly (+32)."
Opinium polling shows the Green Party outperforming Labour and the Conservatives on most leadership and values metrics. The Greens score highly on 'knowing what it stands for' (+20), 'having a clear sense of purpose' (+13) and 'being united' (+12), but score poorly on 'being ready for government' (-31), 'representing what most people think' (-19) and 'being trusted to take big decisions' (-17). Zack Polanski is the most popular leader at net -1 and Ed Davey is net -4; no leader posts a net positive and Keir Starmer is net -43. Reform UK leads voting intention at 31%, Labour sits at 20% and the Conservatives at 18%, with Lib Dems at 13% and Greens at 12%. Voters are divided on Starmer's remark labelling the Greens "nuts" and "dangerous" (39% fair, 33% unfair). If Labour were unlikely to win locally, 19% of Labour voters would choose the Lib Dems and 17% would choose the Greens.
