Re: Makerfield by election

No 'Your Party' candidate then?

I'm no fan of them myself but I am cybersquatting on a website domain that I purchased that contains the party name thay they subsequently settled on.

Not sure Your Party have put any candidates forward at any election yet.

In the locals they were supporting various independents or Greens.

As a member still (I think - my monthly payment is still going out) I hope they move past the 'can't organise a piss up in a brewery' stage a bit sharpish. So far it has been an embarrassment of factionalism and incompetence.

But for now the Your Party profile is not so much low, as subterranian.

(I voted Green in the locals - and backed the winner!)

I voted plaid to defeat reform

At the next election if the greens look like they can kick reforms ass then they will get my vote ...but its clearly going to be labour

I will be an anti reform floating voter for as long as its needed

Looks like they put up some candidates in the recent local elections:

Well the Greenies had a candidate but now he's pulled out..I assume they will announce someone else?!

Tories, for what it's worth, have one too.

Thanks for posting - I missed that. Have to admit I am so frustrated with Your Party that I just skim read the emails and never go to the main website any more.

Although just 23 YP candidates across England when 5000+ councillor seats contested. No presence in the Welsh or Scottish elections.

Regardless of the shambles they are, the name is appalling as a brand - and it's comical to think of someone standing on a soapbox in front of people who associate themselves with existing parties seemingly being implored to vote for their own parties e.g. "Vote for Your Party".
Having worked in Intellectual Property, I am hugely surprised that the name got past the Trade Mark examiners - as it's not usual for a TM to throw a blanket over generic titles that other parties (including political parties) can legitimately use regarding their own services, products and brands.

the Tooting Popular Front would have been more apt.

Have you done much Tooting recently?

That's old feedback. New feedback goes running, fitness classes, personal trainer, eats moderately well. Still can't shift the muffin top, but then again you don't knock in a 9" nail with a tack hammer

Who was it on here who, several years ago, boasted about ejaculating on the back of a woman's cost (and while she was wearing it) in a disco or similar?

I don't think I boasted about anything (and it was me and the wife in a corner of a club many many years ago under the influence of class As, not some strange woman I didn't know). Hardly a crime FFS. Who knew this place was full of Puritans?

It makes me happy that I'm such a source of amusement

Meanwhile, away from Your Party, intellectual property rights and Feedback's history of spreading his bodily fluids....

YouGov's study of the 2026 local elections shows that just 46% of 2024 Labour voters who went to the polls remained loyal to the party, with more backing the Greens (22%) than Reform UK (6%) two weeks ago

The Conservatives retained 55% of their 2024 voters, with 33% switching to Reform UK

Is there much to read in those stats those as people don't always vote the same way in local and national elections...
