Green Politician Criticized for Missing Vote on Zionism Motion

Yes, it is. He should've been there, and he should've voted.

And he should've... I would've hoped that he would have really been a very strong critic of this motion because the motion was flawed from top to bottom in my view. It's dangerous. It's divisive.

It tries to have an singular definition of Zionism when we know- So will he- ... that there are many ... face a lot of criticism from you and other Greens- I'm sure he will ... now that this by-election's over?

I'm sure he will. Right. Should he stand down?

I think let's just see what happens in the next, in the coming days and weeks.

I mean, obviously he has been- So you're not ruling it out.

Obviously, he has been, um, completely, uh, taken up with this by-election. I, I, I, I want him to speak now about what's happened. I want him to show the leadership that was frankly missing on Sunday. I think the jury is out about whether or not he will do that, but I very much hope he will.

That is a long way from full-throated support.

I, I've been very clear that I think it was a mistake not to show leadership on this, and I think it was a mistake not to be there to vote
