Kier Starmer is not going to make it until the next election, this much is clear. This means that there will, in the next couple of years, be a leadership election. We need to pull Labour back towards the left and make it a party that can say it speaks to the working man/woman.

We need a leader that will impose fair taxation on the billionaire class.

To do this a strong leftist wing of the party needs to be present in the memberhip.

    Being a member will not help.

    The right wing of the party has already evicted to many left wing MPs to vote for a left of centre leader.

    While using that power to also raise the % of MPs needed to get any leader on the ballet.

    The PLP (parliamentary Labour Party) has to much power over membership for members to ever override their support again. Corbyn was never expected to win. The PLP were taken by suprise by the size of membership support. And the huge demand from younger left members willing to join the party. They also removed the ability for new members to have such an effect on future votes.

    Hence why YourParty was set up with such a huge concentration on membership control from Day one.

    As bad as the current mess of your party is. This very issue is the argument being had between members. Z Sultana Claims background actors were embedding control before members could take charge. So acted alone to creat membership (if you believe her motives)

    Other leaders disagree and and are threatening to take it to lawyers.

    A membership lead faction “Our Party” has formed to try and realign the process of building the party. ATM with over 800k supporters this is still the largest movement towards a genuine member lead left wing party out their.

    Edited. Fixed a typo and clarified some history.

      I agree with a lot of the start of what you say. I will warn to be mindful and question everyone’s motive including Zarah and who is behind Our Party. Politics is filled with bad actors. We should always be cautious, even with something so new.
