Summary
- The Green party has made significant gains in Labour strongholds in the north, including Leeds, Bradford, Lancashire, and Kirklees.
- The recent success of Greens in local elections has shown voters seeking an alternative to Labour’s policies and commitments.
- Mothin Ali, a newly elected Green councillor in Leeds, won in a predominantly deprived area, straddling both inner city and suburbs.
- Ali’s victory is not solely attributed to his views on Palestine, but also to his community campaigning efforts and connection to local issues.
