  Technically no yet.

  This will sound insignificant but it is a result of the intentional set up of Your Party

  All MPs that currently support Your Party are classed as independent. Because ATM no one has the authority to appoint them as Your Party MPs.

  This is an intentional side effect of the Founders of Your Party preventing actions exactly like Starmer is doing here.

  By making the very structure of the party democratically run by membership. And requiring MPs to be selected by local party groups.

  Until the conference where members will choose a name and agree to processes/rules for the democratic selection of MPs leaders etc. No MP can be any more then a member of the party.
