Any update on the name?
This is what worries me. If they can’t even decisively pick a name how are they supposed to unify left wing voters? It does not inspire confidence.
Labour didn’t win the last election, the Tories lost because Reform split the vote and they happend to have the next biggest voter base. Now that Labour is losing it and Reform is gaining momentum, Your Party should have chosen a name and gone on the offensive long ago.
They are not failing to pick a name. They are making the point that the party will be entirely run by members. So members will choose the name at the first conference in autumn.
It’s good to hear they’ve put a soft deadline on it, but I can’t help but think it’s wasted time when they could be building recognition with the average person. I hope I’m worrying over nothing.
Given it’s 4 years till the next election. And nothing can really happen until then.
Added to the way the PLP and leadership took over the labour party ignoring the members wishes. On many issues.
The founders think ensuring the democratic roots and management of this new party is more important then rushing it’s formation.
Won’t be till autumn. It is down to members to vote. That is expected to happen at the first party conference.
This is pretty much the plan with everything for this party. Membership democracy is its main point. This is why the 2 founders will not call them self the leaders. The members have to choose them.

Can someone check if the lemon party domain is taken?
