Congratulations to Sagal. I wish her the very best in representing this amazing place. I'm proud of the campaign we fought. To go from 10% to 33% of the vote share during the PM's 'bounce' is good - but our ambitions are far higher.

To be clear I’m not calling on Zack to step down. Today he's indicated he shares some of my concerns on the Zionism motion & I welcome that. Now the party needs to come together to urgently make our processes more robust & inclusive & take action to show Jewish members our party is safe for them

A campaign to be proud of. A huge thank you to everyone who helped make it happen.

Below, the graphic identifies Zack Polanski as Leader of the Green Party and features the quote:
“I'm incredibly proud of the campaign we did run. We got 30% of the vote, and in fact John Curtice, an independent pollster, said this shows that the Green Party are more of an electoral threat in these seats than we've ever been before.”

My reflections this morning, some thoughts on how we build back better from here, and a message to members and constituents. 💚🙏
Sian Berry
Green Party MP for Brighton Pavilion
This morning, in what I know is a very initial and uncomprehensive way, I want to offer some of my personal reflections and thoughts on what we do now, in the wake of both conference, last night's by-election, and following the many powerful and heartfelt messages I have received from residents, constituents and party members in recent days.
I am full of regret for so much that has happened, and very sad Zack is not joining me in Parliament next week. Sincere congratulations to Sagal on winning her seat too.
On the motion, I voted and argued against it because I felt it needed serious amendment, and if not then sending back for more dialogue or voting down. But the clash of conference with an exciting and mobilising by-election campaign meant many of us were persuaded not to campaign publicly for these ends, while proposers were very organised and remained intent upon no changes at all.
I want to take my full share of personal responsibility for the result of all this in the votes at conference. I should have worked harder to persuade more of our leading figures to speak up in a unified way to say that the motion as written was clearly not reflective of our values and policy principles.
Both in the words of the motion and in how they have been heard in the country, I can hear genuine worry about what it means for our communities, and can see genuine damage being done to our strong reputation as a leading, principled and inclusive voice for human rights in Palestine and against the atrocities of the Israeli state.
I regret this hugely, and apologise to members and constituents for where we are now as a party, which I know is causing real concern.To Green Party members - especially those for whom thoughts of leaving must have crossed their minds in recent days - I say please stay and let us fix this together.
I am very glad that Zack has now said that he would have voted against the motion as it stood, and that he has agreed we have work now to do. We are not at all where we want to be today, but I know we can build from this starting point if we work together in a new spirit.
I stand ready to work with all my colleagues to restore trust in our processes and our party, fix the serious flaws in the motion that was passed, as well as to restore key policies aimed at inclusive peace-building.
And my principles dictate that I will always want to help find a way to do this work through understanding, listening and consensus building.
To my constituents, I want to reassure you this morning that the party's currently stated policy on this issue does not reflect my values, and that it will make no difference to the inclusive way in which I represent our fantastic, diverse, kind and inclusive community here in Brighton.
With love and respect to all, I look forward to important conversations taking place in the coming days and weeks to find a way to make sure our party is again a unified, enthusiastic and very clear voice for understanding, peace and human rights for all people.

On ZiR:
I think it's really important that we don't belittle, dismiss or insult anyone for their position on the events of this weekend. Green Party conference is a place for members to raise their voices and express their opinions. I'm really disappointed with the way some

members are speaking to eachother. If the outcome or the aim of this is that the 800+ people that voted against aren't welcome in the party then that would be a huge shame and does not make peace or justice for the Palestinian people any more likely
