New Party on the Left

[Elwood Blues]

Re: New Party on the Left

I haven't seen any reliable figures.

Over 20,000 people joined up via the portal promoted by Sultana - that led to the fall out with Corbyn (then the make up with Corbyn). In typical fashion they are all members but their details are not yet accessible to Your Party! Since then there have been almost 6 weeks of the replacement (and working!) membership portal in operation. I have not seen any reported membership figures for people who have joined via that route.

Over 800,000 people registered an interest in Your Party over the summer.

13,000 members will be selected by ballot to take part in the founding conference in Liverpool at the end of November.

The Greens have doubled their membership to 150,000 since Zack Polanski was elected as leader - and some of those might have otherwise become Your Party members.

Party rules will prevent membership of other political parties as well as Your Party.

When membership figures are finally announced I would expect them to be in the 100,000 - 250,000 range. But that is just a guess.

Thank you for your thorough reply Jon.

Personally I find myself surrounded by a plethora of political parties, none of whom I want to vote for !!!!!!

Its a bust flush surely

I think the problem is the egos there are huge and this talk of working class solidarity is just nonsense , its so student politics it turns people off

Well it might be that some sort of rainbow coalition ends up running the country

I would be entertainment minister and force everyone to listen to Machine Head

Re: New Party on the Left

Sort of peace broken out in Liverpool.

Confirmed party membership over 55,000 and rising.

Collective leadership agreed (not Corbyn and not Corbyn/Sultana) (Sultana win)

Joint membership (of other parties/organisations) agreed if transparent. (Sultana win)

Party name confirmed as 'Your Party' (another vote where I lost!).

Sultana making the running - which I think is a better sign than Corbyn (+ his 'staffers') winning the votes.

Sultana loves Corbyn though - so peace and love all round!

Both open to electoral pact with the Greens.

Its sunk

In Wales Plaid are pissed off that the boyo branch of your party seem determined to stand candidates which will inevitably draw some former labour voters away from plaid and clearly increase the chances of reform getting in

They are not making many friends

I hope they sink out of sight and if labour continue to sink we have the choice of plaid in wales or the greens in England to defeat reform

True socialism or whatever they want isnt the pressing issue at the moment , its keeping reform out !

How can there be talk of a progressive alliance with the likes of sultana and corbyn involved ?

55,000. A little bit less than they were expecting after the huge number who signed up with their emails

I think their shenanigans of the last few weeks (well months really) have put quite a number off joining up or pushed them into the hands of the greens.

Re: New Party on the Left

If there was an election tomorrow I would rather vote for a left alternative to starmer but this corbyn thing would be a disaster

I would imagine Corbyn is too Far-Right for you, even the Marxists are Right-Wing in your eyes

Re: New Party on the Left

Dunno what to think about Your Party. The Greens have clearly clipped their wings - indeed I just read on some borderline crank site on Facebook that Polanski is a plant to disrupt the rise of the left. I guess a Green would make a good plant?

But yeah, the Greens have stolen a lot of their thunder, most of it self inflicted from the fall outs, most of which seems to come from Sultana, as whatever else Corbyn is, he's a wife old owl and whilst I wouldn't say he would work with anyone, he knows unity is key.

We've seen it all before though. This isnt that different to the formation of Respect in 2003 or thereabouts, of whom I was an enthusiastic supporter. The key difference is Your Party has a small team of MPs already of course, placing them in a much better position.

I don't think this will go far though. If it did, they will need some kind of non aggression pact with the Greens, but that doesn't come without risks. Many Greens are of the ecological kind. Not dyed in the wool socialists, and many socialists aren't attracted to parties who would damage our industrial bases (what's left of them).
