英国绿党拒绝候选人推迟年度大会请求

英国绿党候选人扎克·波兰斯基要求党领导层延期定于10月2日在布莱顿举办的年度大会遭拒1。波兰斯基提出推迟大会的原因是希望集中精力参加10月8日的霍尔本和圣潘克拉斯补选，但执行委员会在周四进行的投票中维持原定计划1。大会预计将吸引约3000人参加1，而补选仅在大会结束后四天进行1。

执行委员会的投票中包含约25名投票成员，波兰斯基本人也参与其中1。除延期请求被拒外，波兰斯基还面临党内一项争议政策动议的立场压力1。该动议若通过，将使锡安主义与种族主义相等同，要求建立单一巴勒斯坦国，支持锡安主义的成员将面临种族歧视纪律处分1。作为犹太人的波兰斯基已支持两项修正案以缓和该动议1。

Zack Polanski, the Green Party's candidate for the Holborn and St Pancras by-election, requested that the party's executive committee delay the annual conference to concentrate efforts on the October 8 by-election campaign, but the committee declined his request 1. The conference, scheduled for October 2 in Brighton and expected to draw approximately 3,000 attendees, will proceed as planned following a Thursday vote by the executive body 1.

The timing places the conference just four days before the by-election 1. Polanski, who is Jewish, faces competing pressures as the party considers a controversial policy motion that would equate Zionism with racism and require the establishment of a single Palestinian state; the motion stipulates that party members who support Zionism would face disciplinary action for racial discrimination if the resolution passes 1. Polanski has supported two amendments aimed at moderating the proposal but has not made his position public 1.
