It’s a day ending in Y and Your Party are looking shambolic again. It was nice to have that little bit of extra hope for a while
If you want a serious, thoughtful progressive challenge, Zack Polanski’s Green Party is right there. Your Party is just Magic Grandpa Corbyn (aka the one remaining socialist in post-Blair Labour, who got catapulted to fame for actually believing in something other than expediency, which masked the fact that he was not a particularly deep thinker) and a motley crew of hangers-on, each fired up by their own wild vision.
Oh I know, I got on board with the Greens right before their leadership election in part to vote for Zack Polanski. It was just nice to have the idea of another party alongside them but, alas, Your Party is not it
It would be nice if the electoral system was preferential or proportional. Under first-past-the-post, it’s just a grim fight of all against all.
Greens close to Labour in polls, surpassed Lib Dems. If they surpass, they might be the best challenger to reform, without the baggage, and a good leader.
I really hope there’s no misogyny behind the fact that the only woman is the one that keeps getting villainised. I really want it to be my skeptical paranoia/tribal brain telling me to side with a fellow woman and not an actual pattern on their part.
By “villainised” do you mean called out for trying to take sole control of all donations to the party without permission from others in the party, multiple times? It shouldn’t be surprising that someone who behaves in a shady way gets called out for being shady.
ultra leftists > garden variety transphobes, corbyn.
i hope zarah goes to the green party. <3
Zarah don’t care. Its more about influence for her. She’s using the issue.
Your Party ain’t transphobes. They have a few non-allies in a broad coalition, but they’ll be out voted, but rather than trying to build something democratic, Zarah uses issues like these to wrestle power back from Corbyn and his allies like Murphy (real issue for Zarah).
Zarah will go to the Green’s when she’s fnished off the corpse of Your Party cause she felt wronged. It’s about her interests, not what is good for working people.
There is a real good Novara media article about the founding process and issues. Spoiler: It wasn’t trans phobia.
