Zack Polanski's Green Party is urging members to prioritize campaigning for an upcoming Holborn by-election over attending their annual conference in Brighton, which starts next Friday. The party seeks hundreds of volunteers daily from October 3rd to 4th to maximize its chances in the constituency where they previously received 4,030 votes compared to Labour's 18,884. Party strategists believe the Greens can outmaneuver other parties' ground forces and benefit from potential voter shifts due to dissatisfaction with previous leadership changes.

Story summary
The Greens in the UK are ramping up efforts for a by-election in the Holborn and St Pancras constituency, telling activists to prioritize local campaigning over attending their annual conference. In an email sent to members ahead of the conference starting next Friday in Brighton, party leaders urged hundreds to campaign daily on the streets from October 3rd-4th. Party strategists claim they are now outnumbering competitors in ground forces and believe a victory here will unlock future election goals. Some activists pushed back against the directive's tone, but a spokesman clarified that it was simply a request, not an order. The Greens plan to leaflet the entire constituency on Wednesday as part of their intensified local campaign efforts.
