News Green Party Zack Polanski
People are roasting the Green Party for doing a party political broadcast from an old-timey living room – 21 of the most savage reactions
Undoubtedly one of the big political stories of the last year in the UK has been the rise of the Green Party and its media savvy leader, Zack Polanski.
With their polling riding high, it stands to reason that the Greens would want to get their message out as widely as possible. So, this week, Polanski appeared in a paid party political broadcast on television.
But nobody is talking about what he said. Instead, the internet is obsessed with the choice of location for the recording.

Polanski is seen sitting in a living room that looks like it came from a working class home sometime from the 1940s to the 1980s. And while it was probably a sly piece of boomer-baiting, people online have been haaving a lot of fun discussing/dissing it.

Whoever wrote the "Enjoy Corrie… or whatever it is you're watching" bit should be fired. https://t.co/it7GWYuBMA

The greens have already won over the under 65 working age adults… #1 in polls
Think about the demographic he is trying to win over, who sit and watch tv, what their living rooms look like, what shows they are watching
I think there is a reason for the choice of set https://t.co/tFrjV0YSTO

This is a rich person's idea of what a poor person's home looks like. https://t.co/eux81xgJaK

Zack Polanski doing his bit from my old student house. Good to see he’s cleared up the mouse traps, empty pizza boxes and broken glass. https://t.co/BsRfOiEcJx

The Green Party is so posh they unironically think working class people have living rooms like this https://t.co/TH1JV8PyDU

I can’t get over how Zack Polanski believes this is how the working class lives.
It’s not 1982, nobody lives like this.
This is how rich people fetishise of a faux working class aesthetic. Truly embarrassing. pic.twitter.com/dJEmE66NLk

My personal opinion is that if you're going to commit to pretty ridiculous bit, you've got to go all in. Full 70s. Flared suit, tapered shirt collar. Lamp turning off halfway through because of power cuts. https://t.co/Ao4L47RMiP

The Greens cosplaying as working class is just adorable. We might be skint, but we're not all sat in homes that look like Ivy Brennan's front room in 1980, Dave. pic.twitter.com/Iu4C2s9MaS
