Zack Polanski, the Green Party candidate for the London Assembly seat covering Camden, announced his candidacy in a recent interview with BBC London. Polanski, who currently serves on the London Assembly and leads the Green Party in England and Wales, said he feels “confident” about his prospects but emphasized that he is “not complacent.” He positioned his run as a means to hold the Labour-led government to account on several policy fronts.

Polanski identified three core issues he believes require urgent action. Second, he criticized the government’s inaction on leasehold reform, noting that promises to end the “feudal system of leasehold” have not materialised. Polanski also mentioned the nationalisation of Thames Water as a benchmark for the type of systemic change he seeks.

When asked about his previous run as a Liberal Democrat council candidate, Polanski dismissed partisan rigidity, stating that politics should not be treated like “football teams.”
