‘Wales is my number one priority,’ says Green Party leader Zack Polanski

The Greens are likely to capture a lot of support from previous Labour voters from the Corbyn era. Plaid need to stress their home-grown credentials to stay the obvious progressive choice.

So another party to add to the list of those that want to mine our votes in order to realise their ambitions in England.

Too much wrong with the greens for my money. Be interesting to see what they get.

The frustration and bitterness at parochial Welsh views of the world in TH Parry-Williams' poem 'Hon' comes to mind.

The Welsh Green Party must work in alliance with the established party of Wales: Plaid Cymru to overcome colonialism from the external threat of Reform UK and their imperialists and to build the institutions we need as an independent nation. It is in the interests of both our parties and the future of Cymru Wales.

Without preference voting a vote for the Greens is a vote for Reform in May.

From some of the comments, I just want to say that Plaid are not entitled to demand Green votes. For some of us Plaid’s support of nuclear, the royals, conservative views on farming, fox hunting and Welsh purity tests from some of their supporters is a big turn off. Yes, there is a lot in common beyond that and in the new system a strong Green vote would be good for Plaid as it provides a more aligned potential partner for Government and could remove Labour from that equation.

In my opinion, the Greens and Plaid Cymru would pick up different sets of voters. Greens would pick up left wing, liberal former Labour Voters in cities and Plaid Cymru's vote base could even be described as small c Conservatives in rural areas. Plaid's issue will be if they can pick up votes from both camps and gain votes from the South Wales Valleys who tend to be socially conservative but more fiscally liberal but not extravagent, very proud of Wales as their country but not supportive of independence and supportive of Brexit.

Zack is very impressive no doubt about that. They’ll do well in parts of Cardiff but they’ll struggle to make any significant impact anywhere else i reckon

This Man is a winner,he has what it takes,above all "Honesty" and believability.

The Greens and Zack Polanski are hoovering up votes because they've recognised that most of the issues in our society are due to growing wealth inequality and we need (among other things) wealth taxes to tip the balance. I think people on the right like Farage know this too but are trying to distract people from the obvious by blaming other groups in society. It's up to the main parties to recognise this and amend their messaging so we can stop sliding to the right which won't fix anything. If they don't the Greens will win lots of seats, but so will the likes of Reform.
