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

    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 “splitting the left”. 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.
