Green Party Leadership Election Shapes Future Direction
The Green Party in the UK is having a leadership election.
Current leaders Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns are competing against Zack Polanski.
Polanski wants to attract more people to the party, even those who might not usually vote Green.
Ramsay and Chowns worry this might push away some voters.
A new party being formed by Jeremy Corbyn could also change things, potentially taking away some Green Party supporters.
The election will show how the Green Party plans to navigate these changes and what issues they will focus on.
