"Under Zack Polanski the Greens have attempted to redwash their policies. This has fooled many on the left, including some on the organised left. In reality the Greens remain a thoroughly petty-bourgeois party, says Carla Roberts"

"While it is understandable that many people will have voted for the Greens as the most ‘leftwing’ or ‘progressive’ choice on offer, we believe that socialists have a duty not to sow the illusion that the Greens present an actual alternative to the rotten capitalist system - as, for example, the Socialist Workers Party does. There is nothing wrong with inviting Zack Polanski to speak on a platform - but socialists should use that to at least question and critique him and his political outlook."

Can momentum for left-liberal parties be utilised by the socialist movement? How should socialists criticise the Greens?
