Yes maybe I was being too poetic. They're not the 300 Spartans either. Somehow I can't see 'our Nige" as Leonidas.Originally Posted by jon1959
I have spent at least 5 minutes trying to think that one through - and failed!
Are Reform the Mexicans under Santa Ana, or the Texans under Travis, Bowie and Crockett?
After a 13 day siege the 200 odd Texans (and friends) in the Alamo were wiped out.
Somehow I can't imagine Reform as either an overwhelming force of victorious Mexicans, or as an heroic (in their myth making) and doomed group represented by John Wayne, Richard Widmark and Laurence Harvey.
Nigel Farage, Richard Tice and 30p Lee Anderson are more of a Carry On cast.
The Battle of Endor is a better analogy - where the Rebel Alliance defeats the Galactic Empire?
I'm giving this too much thought........!

Too left wing. More like Krystalnacht
Well quite frankly I would vote for a tin of peas if it kept out reform
Everything else in whatever order is irrelevant and if voting for corbyn had to be done to defeat NF consider me in but it would only be loan
Hey we are talking about Reform here!
If you want to come up with Your Party examples then start a new thread! 😜
I thought you were talking about Reform. Go on then let's have Les Mis or even Les Dawson
The time it's taking to name the new entity is becoming is a bit of a farce. Abigail's Party perhaps.
The founding conference has been organised for 29 and 30 November in Liverpool. The party name will come out of that.

Do you know what their actual membership is now Jon?
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 !!!!!!
More teething troubles - to put a very generous spin on it!

Looks like The Judean People's Front and The People's Front of Judea are at it again!
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

Might aswell…..
You could wear a nice rainbow tie depicting all the various party colours hey
Well it might be that some sort of rainbow coalition ends up running the countryMight aswellÂ…..

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