Labour Breaks with Greens in 11 Councils Over Zionism Policy Split
Labour ends power-sharing with the Green Party in 11 councils after the left ally refuses to condemn its new Zionism policy.
POLICY WIRE — London, United Kingdom — The Labour Party has officially terminated power-sharing agreements with the Green Party in 11 local councils.
This rupture stems from an ultimatum issued to Green representatives in local government regarding a new platform defining Zionism as a form of racism.
The coalition collapse comes after Local Green Party of England and Wales (GPEW) officials declined to disavow the policy adopted at the party conference last month.
By withdrawing from these alliances, Labour is dismantling nearly half of its existing joint governing arrangements with Green councils across England and Wales.
Zack Polanski’s leadership secured the passing of the contentious motion at the summer conference, setting the stage for this significant political upheaval.
Former Green co-leader Adrian Ramsay has described the party as standing at a critical crossroads following the denial of conditional support from its primary coalition partner.
