A moment of dissent at a Your Party rally shows how the former Labour leader is being outflanked by both Zack Polanski’s Greens and his own colleague Zarah Sultana
Oh my god, they still haven’t chosen a name? I feel like they left a gap and created room for Reform to stand up in - just because so many people were waiting for a third party, and Your Party can’t even get it together enough to pick a name.
The party is a democratic one run by the members. As such everything about it is down to members approval.
Unlike Labour who have votes at conference but totally ignore the will of it’s members.
your Party constitution will state “Conference Is sovereign”. At least after the members accept the founding docs it will.
The Same goes for the name. It has not failed to select a name. It’s whole plan is to elect the name in the conference on Nov 29-30th.
This stupid idea that the party is slow or disorganised. Is entirely right wing media bullshit. The party has existed for less then 2 months.
No other party in history has gone from vague idea to fully formed in that time. Every single party in history has huge disagreements and takes time to organise process.
Edit: What YP is trying to do is totally unique. Also very nessesery given how little control the public has over any other UK political party.
Forming a democratic party requires strong and agreed rules that both ensure principles while allowing membership to have full control over the leadership.
Everything happening within the party is down to ensuring this happens. And is happening very effectively.
Why do some people keep repeating the thing about the name and acting like they can’t decide? I also think it’s been going very badly and there’s so much to criticise. But they made it clear from the very beginning that they’d allow the members to vote on the name at their first conference, which is happening this month
If those people were involved. They would know better. As is the perceived loss of momentum only exists within those watching the right wing media.
Anyone watching the party as a member validating the movement rationally in only 2 months. Knows better.
Facts. With no policy, no name, no positive press and only the principal of true membership democratic control and support for the worker. Your Party has 50000 active members. Going into it’s first conference on Nov 29th. To democratically agree to the rules and process required to run it.
Show me a party in history that was so far in 2 months from initial announcement.
Then ask why the right wing media wants the party formation to look bad. Rather then fair comparison to other parties.

Why the hell is this so confusing to people.

Because most people can sense a loss of momentum.
