Sheffield Council’s joint administration between the Green Party and Labour could be under threat of dissolvement due to the Green’s adoption of an anti-Zionist policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Green Party formally established itself as an anti-Zionist party at its conference on 4 October. Following this, an untimatum was issued by Labour chair Bridget Philipson, calling on Labour groups sharing responsibilites with Greens to terminate power-sharing arrangements unless the local Greens reject the policy within 7 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leader of Sheffield Council Fran Belbin called on Sheffield Green councillors to condemn the policy on 15 October, describing it as “shameful and antisemitic.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who sent the order to Cllr Belbin and other leaders of Labour\/Green administrations, has also publicly criticized the motion.<\/p>\n\n\n
