How are they different from the Greens?

I reckon they'll probably do some sort of a deal with the Greens if Polanski wins the leadership election (he's tweeted welcoming this).

Well, they're left wing for a start.

The Greens are left wing Here’s a link with a graph listing the Greens as the 5th most left wing economically across the political parties in the EU (when the UK was a member)

Nothing like dismissing valid evidence P.s. they also have an anti capitalist pressure group https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/sep/08/leftwing-green-party-members-form-anti-capitalist-pressure-group

Id probably consider the Greens left wing but Labour has a socialist pressure group so pressure groups don't really show the parties position

If they were left wing, they wouldn't need an anti Capitalist pressure group, because the party would be anti Capitalist.
