DAILY MAIL COMMENT: Think things are bad now? Vote Green if you want to make it worse
It would not be an exaggeration to describe today’s local elections as the most important local elections ever held in this country.
Everything indicates that the results will shape the political narrative well into the future. Come the weekend we could be heading to a very different Britain. What we should at least be prepared for is a sharp move to the left by the current Labor administration, which is now predicted to lose up to 2,000 seats.
But an even worse scenario awaits us if the Greens come to power as part of the Left chaos coalition after the next general election, which is increasingly likely to take place well ahead of the 2029 calendar.
The Daily Mail has been warning for months about the very serious threat posed by Zack Polanski and his bewildered minions. It’s nearly impossible to reconcile today’s Palestine-obsessed, often Jew-hating Greens with the furry collective of yesteryear dedicated to saving the whale.
The party’s policies seem to have been lifted from a Ladybird-style book on the worst elements of Marxist stupidity. His goals include abolishing the monarchy, making pornography more accessible and legalizing substances such as heroin, crack cocaine and the date rape drug GHB.
Plans for the country’s finances are equally unstable. Polanski wants to introduce wealth taxes, possibly to fund free housing that he plans to give to illegal immigrants.
In a moment of unprecedented global danger, the Greens want to reduce our defense capacity to levels lower than they are now. Other stated aims include phasing out short-term prison sentences, with the ultimate goal of ending the current prison system.
Meanwhile, Polanski’s disregard for law and order can also be seen in his attempts to provoke the Metropolitan Police over its response to recent stabbings in Golders Green, north London.
The Daily Mail has long warned of the very serious threat posed by Zack Polanski and his starry-eyed Palestine-obsessed, often Jew-hating acolytes.
But what is most disturbing within the party is the undercurrent of anti-Semitism. The Mail revealed this week that 30 local election candidates were being investigated over allegations of hatred and harassment against Jews.
Despite this troubled environment, the party has seen an influx of mostly young members, with its numbers rising from 68,000 to 225,000 in the last six months. This in itself is an indictment of the failure of both Labor and the Conservative Party to engage meaningfully with the country’s youth.
In today’s Mail, our 25-year-old writer Rosie Beveridge tells us why she’ll vote Green. Among her circle of friends, she writes, there was ‘an air of anxious exhaustion fueled by being overworked, broke, single, directionless, and – at the risk of sounding like a Jane Austen character – hopeless’.
The feeling of discontent is everywhere. For decades, each new generation believed that its situation would be better than the previous one.
Not anymore. Who among us can say with confidence that things are better now than they were ten or twenty years ago?
Just look around and what do you see? Job opportunities were depressingly limited even for the brightest and best. There is no end in sight to unlimited migration. The health service is lurching from crisis to crisis. An inflated benefit culture that rewards people for sitting on the couch and watching daytime television.
It’s no surprise that young people are angry and frustrated.
But the answer is not Zack Polanski. To those who want to turn to the Greens on the assumption that things can’t get any worse, the Mail says: Just wait and see.
