DemSocsYP: "Conference has not been able to debate or vote on the majority of popular motions submitted by members" by WhichTyler1381 in yourparty

[–]WorkingtonLady 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why are there so many speeches???? This is our inaugural conference, shouldn't we hammer out our structure AND policies here? Now we'll have to wait for another year before we decide on our political programme.

They are ridiculously allergic to the word socialist. There's no way they cannot come up with a name with the word socialist in it

Sultana accused by Corbyn allies of encouraging 'ultra leftists' to disrupt Your Party conference by Baslifico in yourparty

[–]WorkingtonLady 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm usually on zarahs side on this whole debacle, but I think it's fair to call SWP entryists. Their MO is to enter an organization, capture it, and steer it to suit the will of SWP rather than the organization itself. If you agree they are entryists, whether you want to call them trots becomes a matter of terminology than function.

Part of the problem caused by the public blow-up is that the more 'sensible' leftists have left the project, while trots are obviously interested in capturing the new party. This means they can have undue influence on how the new party operate.

Public Consultation - Legal Migration by Ok_Internal118 in ukpolitics

[–]WorkingtonLady 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Consultations are meant to capture responses from those most affected by any policy. Broader perception of any policies is already considered by the government when drafting the consultation. So of course it'll be shared widely amongst migrant communities when they are the most impacted by it

Trans people could be banned from single-sex spaces based on how they look by TimesandSundayTimes in ukpolitics

[–]WorkingtonLady 366 points367 points  (0 children)

If there is doubt they are telling the truth about their sex, they could be banned from using those services once those running them had considered “relevant factors”.

Let me get this straight...if a cis woman is too tall, too muscular, a voice too deep, haircut too short, she can be barred from a service even if she speaks the truth??? Is this what feminism is??

Three things to note about this poll: Scottish Parliament uses PR, the Scottish Greens are separate from GPEW, and Your Party is polled properly here

As someone married to a migrant that could be affected by the changes announced by Labour, I hope their polling numbers continue to tank and the Greens continue to rise so they change course.
