随着支持率大幅上升，扎克·波兰斯基希望能够赢得基尔·斯塔默曾经代表的选区，从而成为国会议员。然而，一项关于犹太复国主义的有争议决议是否让他的竞选活动陷入混乱？
After a surge in support Zack Polanski is hoping he can win over Kier Starmer’s constituency to become an MP. But has a controversial motion over Zionism thrown his campaign into disarray?
作为绿党领袖，波兰斯基正试图拿下位于伦敦市中心的霍尔本与圣潘克拉斯选区。自1983年以来，该选区始终把选票投给工党。
Zack Polanski, the Green party leader, is trying to win Keir Starmer’s old seat, Holborn and St Pancras, a central London constituency that has voted Labour – uninterrupted – since 1983.
过去12个月里，绿党的支持率显著提升：党员人数几乎增长了三倍，今年还成功赢得一次补选并掌控了五个新地方议会。不过如今安迪·伯纳姆出任首相，使得工党更具吸引力。
Support for the Greens has surged in the last 12 months. Membership has almost quadrupled, and they’ve already won one by-election this year and taken control of five new councils. But now Andy Burnham is prime minister and has made Labour look a lot more appealing.
就在绿党准备在布莱顿举办有史以来规模最大的大会前夕，一个议题显然会成为讨论焦点：关于‘犹太复国主义是否属于种族主义’的争议性投票。最终该决议以约1000票赞成、800票反对的结果获得通过。
Days before the Greens were set to put on their biggest ever conference in Brighton, it was clear the conversation would be dominated by one issue: a controversial policy vote on whether Zionism is racism. The motion passed by 1,000 votes for, with 800 or so against.
这一结果引发了巨大争议，很可能影响波兰斯基在周四补选中的胜算。这对他的领导地位以及整个绿党而言又意味着什么？
It has created the kind of outrage that could derail Polanski’s chances in Thursday’s by-election. What will it mean for his leadership – and the party?
