This is fine until a decision needs to be made faster than 20-30 business days.
I look forward to them taking months to decide their opinion about any topic or policy that gets brought up then.
Does this mean the members get their £800k back? Since both of them claim they have no access to it.
> Members have voted for a collective leadership model rather than a single leadership model, by a margin of 51.6% to 48.4%.
A 52-48 vote share? Only unity and harmony will come from this.
Not going great this is it? Shame, I was pretty excited for it when it first got announced
The headline as always isn’t quite right. They are talking about members led executive committee rather than MP lead one. They will still have a leader etc but they won’t need to be an MP.
I think it makes sense for a party isn’t going to get too many MPs. Although once you start getting a good number, you need to have some alignment.
Something I keep thinking is that the members are building something that isn’t really a political party.
They’re voting for structures that are more akin to a loose movement than a coherent and focused political party.
Will all be music to the ears of the Greens. A party who themselves have just recently showed the value a single leadership figure can bring.
Corbyn couldn’t make decisions when he occupied the position of Labour leader. Nothing seems to have changed.
This whole thing is a pathetic ego trip. Both him and Sultana love nothing more than moaning about Israel/the current Goverment from a podium in front of their adoring crank audience, interspersed with very earnest TV interviews, safe in the knowledge they’re never going to have the burden of the responsibility to actually do anything about it.
Well, that is going to work just fine. The whole Your Party thing has a Monty Python’s Life of Brian quality to it.
This is like a real time parody of a socialist party.
Should vote to disband. Too many disagreements, its never going ot lead to anything
Useful sideshow that will keep the far left safely out of the way of mainstream politics, and nowhere near government, forever.
Anyone confused by the way Britain seems to charge inexorably further to the right with every passing day should reflect on the fact that the person who announced she was founding this party alongside Jeremy Corbyn is now boycotting the party’s first convention
A convention whose main aim will be to decide what the party is and what it will stand for
A convention headed by a guy who, when Sultana announced she was founding a party with him, said that he knew nothing about any new party and he’d have to look into it
But this vote was a Corbyn-Sultana battle. Corbyn wanted a single leader and Sultana wanted this wierd shared system.
And that’s why Farage runs Reform as a business rather than a democratic party. It’s actually a listed company with Farage as the CEO. Only he makes all the decisions.
funny thing – this is textbook „Road to Serfdom“. If it were a country, a strong figure would emerge who’d say „I will run the transition“, only to start a pre-communism socialist dictatorship which would last decades. Queues to bread and poor quality steel soon follow.
The fact that two co-founders of a brand new party can’t agree and members basically voted 50/50 kinda proves that party politics is fucking stupid.
So (theoretical) prime minister Corbyn, there is this urgent situation that has come up that needs a decision making in the next 2 hours. What shall we do?
Ok give me 45 business days and I’ll get back to you…
How about they all shut up, stop hiding relentless ideological ego behind ‘help the people’ and go join the Green Party.
Now Labour has isolated themselves in the middle, the Tories are a waste of time, and Reform is winning over with lies, our only hope is a credible left option. Lib Dem’s and Greens split that vote, along with the nationalist parties. Last thing we need is another.
This isn’t leadership to just go by the majority. Especially when that majority is a slim 51%-49%.
1 more person votes one way or the other and then we just plunge the country into Brexit.
I’m sorry if you need to structure the party to keep the MP’s from fighting then either decide who is leaving or just abandon the idea.
This party will not work if it’s co-leaders couldn’t organise a line in a fucking Tesco without having a row.
It’s just bloody painful at this point.
I don’t mind direct democracy to dictate policy.
But how would that work in parliament and (if they end up in a position of power where MPs hold office?
At least Corbyn gets to keep pointing the finger at other people when things go wrong 😂
I used to like Corbyn but this whole thing has been so damaging to his character, I can’t see how they’re going to be a serious challenger to the Greens for the left/socialist vote
I’m sure that this won’t blow up in their face the moment they decide whether to have cake or biscuits at their meeting.
It’s like a toddler organising their own birthday party.
Don’t the Lib Dems have something similar to this? Nothing can be Lib Dem policy until the members vote for it at a conference. The problem is if something becomes a political hot topic that isn’t really covered by Lib Dem policy then Ed Davey has to wait several months for the members to decide on their thoughts on it before he’s allowed to talk about it.
It’s nice we have this Monty Python level comedy to distract us from the real political issues of the day
I’m actually surprised they haven’t split into two „will maybes be parties“ and are still holding together despite all the infighting.
