Green leader Zack Polanski backs legalisation of all drugs

The leader of the Green Party says that he wants to legalize all the drugs, calling for the approach “Leaded experts in public healthcare, not politicians.”

Speaking with the BBC South East on the eve of his party conference, Zach Polanski said that he agreed with the adviser from Kent Green, who had previously called for the legalization of all drugs, including such drugs of class A, such as heroin and Crak -Kokain.

Polanski said that “the war with drugs completely failed, and ultimately we must have a public healthcare approach.”

When he asked about this for the taxpayer, he replied: “Well, I think that voters should pay right now for the crime that is happening, for the fact that people are in the markets of illegal drugs, for the gangs that we see in the counties.

“All this is the inability to be that, again, for too long, the main ministers stuck their heads in their sand and said that if we simply make drugs illegal, everything will be fine.”

The Party of Green England and Wales gathers in Bournemut for its first autumn conference under the new team of leadership, which also consists of deputy co -authors of Motin Ali and Rachel Millward, the current deputy leader of the Wilden District Council.

In recent years, the party has achieved growing success in the local council in some parts of Kent Sussex and Surrey, including previously conservative zones, such as Wealden, Reigate and Maidstone.

Modeling himself as “ecopulistic” during recent leadership elections, Polanski, as noted, has a more radical, left approach.

His opponents claimed that this could push away more moderate, former voters of the Conservative Party, who turned to the party on issues such as the protection of green spaces from home construction.

The leader rejected this idea when he spoke with BBC South East.

He said: “I think that a radical thing for people in the southeast is the fact that their wages have not grown, but their accounts have grown, the fact that they cannot appoint a NHS dentist.

“The fact that it seems that there is no real future or opportunities for young people.

“So I really don’t think that what I propose is radical. What I suggest, I think, can turn to almost everyone. ”

Polanski is still clear that his party wants “taxation of multimillionaires and billionaires” to create a more fair society.

“We are talking about the redistribution of excessive wealth, which occurs right through the south -east, England and Wales, and also say: let's return this money to our communities,” he said.

The leader discussed many other issues, including the defense and prospects of the universal election of the party.

When he was asked if the former conservative voters would support his green ambitions to leave NATO, Mr. Polanski emphasized that Great Britain needs a “other approach to defense”.

He said: “What I am talking about, there is a recognition that we cannot be in Hawke Donald Trump.

“I want to talk about what an alternative alliance looks like with our European neighbors.”

This will not “necessarily” mean more on defense, added Mr. Polanski.

Paying attention to the following universal elections, the Green Leader previously said that, in his opinion, his party could win 30-40 seats.

When it comes to the south -east, he says that other places in Brighton will be “first on the list”, and the party hopes to add to the Brighton pavilion, which he had since since 2010.

Polanski said: “I think that the fact that Sian Berry has such an incredible success in the Brighton pavilion shows that many places there suddenly enter the game.

“This does not exclude other places.”
