I couldn’t find a lemmy community for your party after having a search around, so figured why not make one!
First time making a lemmy community, so let me know about any issues.


Given it’s 4 years till the next election. And nothing can really happen until then.
Added to the way the PLP and leadership took over the labour party ignoring the members wishes. On many issues.
The founders think ensuring the democratic roots and management of this new party is more important then rushing it’s formation.
Edit: I’ll add.
The party has 0 MPs ATM. This is also related to the same issue. Several MP on the left of labour have announced they support the party. But unlike labour Your Party will not allow leaders to select MPs. But instead as labours original plan. Local constituency constantly party members will vote on the MP that represents them. No more parachuteing MPs in that support the leadership. Against the membership.
The tempory name your party is more then just words. It is used to make a point. You being the members.
Membership is open now under that name. And one of the founders have indicated their preference of name. But not in a way that is more then just. Well I like the idea of.
“The Left”
Personally I like “Your Left” as it will force any party officials or MP to forever remember it is the members party and is expected to be left of centre.
Also reminding the MPs they are answerable to thier constituency constantly would be a nice side effect of such a name.
But other members seem to dislike the sound of it.
Thank you for taking the time to share your insight, it’s definitely worth doing things right rather than rushed. I guess I’m a bit panicked by how fast things went downhill across the pond, but that’s probably just social media’s American bias shoving it in my face so much.
If this is done properly it could very well be what we need. I’ll hold on to hope.
