The Green Party's Gamble on Holborn and St Pancras The recent selection of Zack Polanski as the Green party candidate for the byelection in Holborn and St Pancras has sent shockwaves through the local politics scene.
On the surface, this appears to be a David vs Goliath battle between the underdog Greens and the incumbent Labour party, which holds a significant majority in the area.
The seat became vacant when Keir Starmer announced his departure from parliament earlier this month. This sudden development has left both parties scrambling to adjust their strategies.
