Getting suspiciously close to “there’s a pigeon in your bank account and we just need you to transfer all the money to us so that we can clean your bank account”.

It’s totally innocent 😇.

    Your Party are the Hyperloop to the Greens’ high-speed train: a cockamamie pie-in-the-sky alternative that won’t actually work, except for diverting attention from the real thing that actually exists.

      I disagree: I think that having two dedicated democratic socialist parties brings more attention to the movement as a whole and increases its gravity. It also means that if one of the two parties gets clobbered for whatever reason then we are not instantly made politically homeless, like when Corbyn got taken down as Labour leader. When the Your Party launch was fudged we could join the Greens because by then they had emerged as a credible and legitimate leftwing party. The more success we have on the left as a whole the better at this stage IMO.

        By “whatever reason” you mean Corbyn, right?

          It could be anything. Scandals and treachery are as old as politics itself and no party is immune to it.

      What’s the real thing in this case, the labour government that has governed more conservatively than the Tories or the party of rabid racism or the Tories themselves

      edit: oh you meant the greens i see
