Green leader Polanski seeks more leadership control after Zionism vote
Green party leader Zack Polanski is calling for internal changes that would give leaders more control over strategy and policy, after members voted for a motion equating Zionism with racism.
Zack Polanski, leader of the Green party, is calling for rule changes that would give party leaders greater control over policy and strategic direction. The call follows a party vote on a motion equating Zionism with racism.
Writing in the Guardian, Polanski said the party's rapid growth means its structures need to change. The Guardian describes this as a signal of a possible overhaul of the party's long-standing grassroots democracy.
He also questioned whether political parties should try to define what their members believe. The Guardian calls this his strongest criticism yet of the motion.
The Guardian reports the motion has caused bitter divisions inside the party, international condemnation and calls for Polanski to resign. Al Jazeera also reports that he wants internal rule reforms.
