The new party The Left by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana, despite not even having an official name yet, is currently polling at 15%, and hence even with Labour

@ErikUden ok, but is this one real this time??
@Erased_Citizen I believe that what is real and what isn't can only be determined in hindsight. My personal theory is that considering how many sign-ups either side has, they'll make a new deal of how to continue to settle this internal power struggle. I'm a member on both platforms.

An official membership portal has opened to join Your Party in the UK!
https://smplu.link/your-party-ukWith an internal member system, public profiles, an event list that you can even add to, as well as lots of more info. I'm quite surprised at how professional this is for a starting party. I'd be lying if I was saying Die Linke in Germany wouldn't be envious of this... I wish best of success to the party of Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn!
οΈYOUR PARTY IS BACK

Internal struggles seem to have been resolved β Zarah Sultana and the rest of the interim leadership of Your Party are now working together again. All of the people who signed up last week are as valid members as those who will sign up now. No split, no two parties, no more confusion.
The, among other, union backed movement βOur Partyβ is still welcomed and their councils and open letter is taken seriously.
This is the best result to have come out of this debacle.

Jeremy Corbyn remains the most favorite UK prime minister and favorite leftist (or non-right wing) politician. The left should unite behind YourParty

@ErikUden That graph looks fishy. 12+60+29 = 101?30+8+63=101? Rounding errors?
I also notice that JC seems to be seen as less favourable than Farage... -

Nigel Farage and Ed Davey are sadly more favorable than Jeremy Corbyn, he's still the most liked that by any means can be called a leftist.

@ErikUden or unite behind Polanski's green party, because stopping the end of human civilization is still the most important issue that ONLY the greens have been fighting for since Inception.
@syllusg while I see that and I do welcome the better polls for the greens, I believe that combating climate change requires an (economic) system change that the greens at this point do not think fully through enough, in my opinion.

Your Party announced 50,000 members! Impressive for a movement that didn't exist a short time ago and that will have its founding congress by the end of this month.

@ErikUden I feel like they should join the greens. Kinda seems like some splitting is happening

@crmsnbleyd Jeremy Corbyn is the most favorable candidate for prime minister in the UK, to a degree you could argue that the greens are doing the splitting. Actually, I am making that argument, because instead of mobilizing unpoliticized and unorganized people, like Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn have been doing, the greens have simply run a campaign against a more leftist party and tried to bring as many people over from there as possible, instead of showing the solidarity they now expect to be given.
Additionally, it's kind of mean to scavenge all your new members from a bigger and larger leftist movement as it was facing struggles during the founding process, and once larger in membership size tell them to shut down operations as they're βsplitting the leftβ. Not only are the greens in the UK not a leftist party, but also have they not managed to do anything for the past decades, so why should I put my trust in them when I could instead put it into this new movement, which actually mobilized and brought people into politics?
One key member (Zack Polanski) only decided he was left wing about 18 months ago, yet the Greens have always voted and acted in favour of neoliberal outcomes when it mattered, wether it was siding with the Tories and LibDems voting against the left's plan for workers rights in parliament, or not standing down in the last election in Wes Streetings constituency, giving us the most pro private health care minister we've ever had. If people were to look at what the UK Green Party actually does, rather than surfing on vibe politics, I don't think they'd be much in favor of it.
