Membership now open!

Today is the day. Our membership portal is now open.

For too long, Britain’s politics has been run in the interests of the rich and powerful. From Ayr to Aberystwyth, our new party is about changing that - taking power back for working people, communities and future generations.

Joining isn’t just about signing up. It means taking part in a founding process that is genuinely democratic and member-led.

This is your chance to help build something new. A party that belongs to its members, not the establishment.

Yeah, makes sense. It is a bit of a chicken-egg problem. But the naked ask for signing up without some kind of idea what kind of party wants to be formed seems poorly thought out and might affect conversion. As a complete outsider to the UK, my opinion doesn't really count, however if there are equally uninformed UK voters I am not sure they are going to be convinced to sign up. This is where a leader statement sharing a vision of the party would help. Transparency of who is doing the organizing and statements from them on why they are doing it would also help. Putting a human face on the proto-party with emotional CTAs can only help people on the fence decide to join. The weak, generic narrative of "for the people!" just doesn't cut it.
