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
-
Due to my involvement in EU politics I informed myself a lot regarding the Party of the European Left (a European party consisting of many national left parties of many EU and non-EU states), which still has British members and observer members!
From the UK they have:
- Transform Party (observer member)
- Democratic Left Scotland (EL Partner)
- Socialists for Independence [Scotland] (EL Partner)
However, the only full member is “Left Unity”. A party that was kind of relevant 2013 when Ken Loach (yes, that one) founded it as a party to replace Labor. In 2014, the party had 2,000 members and 70 branches across Britain, nowadays it seems to be just a glorified blog, promoting Jeremy Corbyn's new party.
If anyone has any further information on this party or its plans (possibly merging or being the foundation for Corbyn's party?), or is personally affiliated with it, let me know! I find this very interesting and lots of common info just doesn't make its way over here to Germany.
In less than a day over 200,000 people signed up for Jeremy Corbyn's and Zarah Sultana's new political party. This may once and for all be the Labor killer.

Without a name, platform, or organizational structure, the UK's new socialist party breaks half a million members in 3 days.

Corbyn also announced an all member congress this autumn to formally found the party and its ideals.
Currently the new socialist party has surpassed Labour in Keir Starmer's district Holborn and St. Pancras, according to a new polling.

I will support whatever left party comes out of this. I understand the struggles, I understand the divide. It's not something leftist movements in particular deal with, it's something any movement would struggle with once they even have an ideology instead of a power fantasy.
I see the current issues between Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn as a sign of an authentic party instead of a money or power grab.
I urge you to stay rational, inform yourself, and continue supporting them until they disobey their ideals. As a member of the German left, I can tell you that it's never easy supporting a left party, this is simply the first hurdle.

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!

@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.

️YOUR PARTY IS BACK
Internal struggles seem to have been resolved – 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 “Our Party” is still welcomed and their councils and open letter is taken seriously.
This is the best result to have come out of this debacle.
