Green Party leader Zack Polanski addressed his autumn conference, urging voters to support the Greens to exert pressure on the Labour government. He argued that sustained Green advocacy has already influenced Labour's stance on climate and international issues, and he called for further action on housing, specifically proposing a three-year rent cap.
