Green Party Declares Itself 'Anti-Zionist' as Former Corbyn Allies Reshape Party's Direction

The Green Party passed a motion at its annual conference declaring itself an anti-Zionist party and stating that Zionism is racism, despite objections from its own MPs and former leader Caroline Lucas. The shift has been linked to the influx of former Corbyn-era Labour members, including Salma Yaqoob, who co-founded the RESPECT party with George Galloway. The development coincides with calls from Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham to introduce proportional representation, which could give the Greens greater influence in future coalition governments.
