Ealing's Politics and Nibbles

Lets talk politics, and have some nibbles too.

Under the leadership of former Liberal Democrat Zack Polanski, the Green party has achieved a sudden surge in the polls and attracted tens of thousands of members.

Many Green activists believe that this indicates they will soon eclipse the Liberal Democrats in prominence, becoming the main left of centre challenger to Labour, thanks to their leader's effective communication strategy.

However, it remains to be seen if the Greens can turn this influx of members into tangible political power. Labour under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn showed that having lots of members does not guarantee amassing political power.
