Summary
Green party leaders Zack Polanski and Caroline Lucas have urged their party to listen to Reform UK voters to better understand why those affected by the cost-of-living crisis are drawn to Nigel Farage's party. Speaking at a Compass conference in east London, Polanski emphasized the need to engage with disenfranchised voters rather than dismiss them, as polling shows Reform UK could capture 27% of the vote in a general election.
