GREEN PARTY leadership hopeful Shahrar Ali has put himself forwards as the “radical” candidate in the upcoming election.
Despite an unprecedented public consciousness around global warming, the Greens fell short of votes once again last year to gain a second MP. Ali believes the party has not been bold enough, and lost credibility in 2019 when it entered the “unite to remain” pact with the Lib Dems. If elected leader, Ali says he would put an end to “disastrous” electoral alliances, proudly stand up the Greens as an eco-socialist party and speak up for Palestinian rights.
The former deputy leader and current spokesperson for the Greens, who’s worked with the party for 18 years, also hopes to become the country’s first ever black and ethnic minority (BME) parliamentary party leader.
