Not sure he'll last long. The shine was coming off anyway. He is too online and gets into trouble for liking dodgy Tweets or randomly spouting out things. He is also very America-brained and imports a lot of American left-wing phrasing or policy into the UK - even if it isn't relevant.
He seems to copy a lot of what Mamdani does, but Mamdani has a political philosophy behind his politics. Polanski seems to be cosplaying as a left-wing populist without having done the thinking. It's like he is an LLM trained on left-wing Twitter posts.
The other issue is that the Greens have a one-member, one-vote policy. They have few safeguards around it and allow people to vote as soon as they become a member. It's ripe for Entryism. When Labour had this, they still had enough structures and people with the political know-how to eventually defeat it.
As I understand it, a lot of the traditional Greens wanted, at the very least, the safeguarding amendment to pass, if not the entire policy to be defeated. But they were outnumbered.
