General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

First on the order of business: Come up with an actual name for the party.
The first order of business is opening up membership. The official name will be voted on by members as the second point of business. That's laid out in the screenshot ( about 2/3rds down in bold if you're interested. )
Well 2nd or 3rd. Need to open up the membership first. So folks can actually vote on it.
A membership portal and official founding of the party using YourParty will happen over the next 2 weeks. With draft founding docs.
Form there the foundation docs get discussed and voted on. Along with the name.
But all is only confirmed in November when the official membership vote happens.
Changing the party name is not that complex. process and documentation wise. It only becomes an issue once the party is well known by such.
But we have almost 4 years before any general election. So founding a real democratic party that dose not allow the leadership to override democratic rule is more important. Given the recent history of Labour.
Having gone so far as to read the wikipedia article, I guess it's the most hopeful sign for democracy I've heard about in years.
Agreed. It's making me uncomfortably hopeful/positive. After the last few years of negative politics.
If the membership numbers are even 1/3 of those who have signed up to support. It will be a very sizeable influence.
Have to also give huge credit to Zarah Sultana. As someone much older. I am impressed with how well she seems to inspire the younger left. Im likeing her attitude alot.
