Green Party leadership hopeful Shahrar Ali
THE Green Party “lost credibility” when it formed a “disastrous” electoral alliance with the Lib Dems last year, a candidate for the party’s leadership has told the Star.
Shahrar Ali, who is standing to be the next leader for the Green Party of England and Wales, said that, if elected, he would draw a line under making future pacts with other parties.
