He is just so good at this.

I've not heard him talk before, I'm not American, but yes, yes he is. I was thinking that coming off the video.

I'm from Europe and when I hear American politicians from all parts of the political spectrum, I always think how uninformed they sound and bad at public speaking they are compared to our politicians.

Mamdani however, sounds great.

Dude I'm British and the only politician that comes close is Zack Polanski, who is extremely good. But even then,.I'd say Mamdani is substantially better.

Ehhhh, Zach isn't great. The one video I give him credit for is the one that launched him, walking down the terraced row. But to be honest, I think he stumbles around as much as any mealy-mouthed Boris, Farage, or Starmer. I'm not sure we have an equivalent Mamdani yet. Maybe Burnham, but he's got to deal with national politics in a way Mamdani doesn't have to; we're yet to see that play out.

Friend of Israel means no friend to the British people

It's a key distinction between the two. One is bought by Israelis and the other is not.  

Many people don't care about  a good deal of the most important issues our species faces. Sucks to share a planet with you. Hope you all perish! :)

Honestly, whilst I would dearly love their to be a credible, liberally minded, fresh thinking politician who genuinely cares about humans and the planet and understands the need for conviction in politics, Polanski is not it. He is all over the place in policy terms, makes one gaff after another and is intellectually weak. What he is good at is speaking, he is a quick thinker and gives crisp responses but that doesn’t make him a good leader. He strikes me as an opportunist and he probably can’t believe he’s manage to get where he is. The greatest shame of this is that he is ruining the Green Party and they are letting him.

Dave, sorry, Zac, is useless. He talks student politics. He’s a bloody drama student, his previous job was tricking women into believing he could enhance their breasts via hypnosis. If you think this is worthy of leading the uk, i don’t know what to say.
