‘Your Party’ have already reached the milestone of 50,000 members, with the join-up process having gone live in September. Combined with the growth that the Green Party have experienced, this demonstrates a genuine hunger in the UK for a truly left-wing alternative.
BREAKING: @jeremycorbyn just announced to a packed-out rally in Islington that Your Party has 50,000 members!

Your Party eager for increase in numbers
While it’s currently known as ‘Your Party’, the plan is for members to decide on the party’s final name. With the founding conference set to take place later this month, the fledgling party have said:
In November, thousands of in-person founding conference delegates will be chosen by lottery to ensure a fair balance of gender, region, and background. These delegates will have a big responsibility – to debate the founding documents, propose amendments and vote on them at the conference in Liverpool. The final decision will be up to all members through an online, secure, one-member-one-vote system.
Without even having a final name, Your Party is already on track to unseat home secretary Shabana Mahmood:
MRP | Your Party to GAIN Birmingham Ladywood (current MP = Shabana Mahmood)
YRP – 33% (new)
LAB – 24% (-19)
GRN – 19% (+10)
REF – 14% (+10)
CON – 7% (+1)

As you can see above, the Greens are also doing extremely well. This is seemingly because the Labour party have given up any pretence of doing politics for the people:
It’s incredible that in less than two months, the party has grown from 68,500 to 150,000.
Happy Monday everyone

Whilst, they’re certainly still experiencing some teething issues, one thing has been clear throughout this process: a significant portion of the British electorate want this party to exist, and many of them will fight for it to function as a democratic vehicle for left-wing politics. Demonstrating this interest, 800,000 people signed up to follow them earlier this year:

Your Party have also drawn attention to the ongoing regional assemblies:

If this participation can turn into a truly member-driven project, we’re optimistic about what Your Party can achieve in future.
