It was foolish to think that some allegedly anti-socialist MPs and councillors could be won over to a left-of-Labour party.

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.

What an embarrassing mess Your Party continues to be
The more to the fringes you go, the more infighting you get and the less compromise.
Normal behaviour.
No coincidence that it's Your Party and Reform who are as busy attacking each other as they are attacking everyone else.
For a study on the topic Google "Judean People's Front vs People's Front of Judea"
Does it? Or do the media continue to attempt to drive that belief into the public because they're funded by other parties?
What about it is going well?
I didn't say anything was going well either. They're barely off the ground and the amount of articles slamming them is ridiculous. We live in a so called democracy, so let's let a new democratic party form and vote if we believe in them and their plan. I'm bored of this soap opera style journalism.
No, to be fair to you you didn't, you just implied it in a "Just Asking Questions" manner. When the actual people involved are semi-regularly making statements denouncing each other as they descend into another bout of factionalism and in-fighting before - by your own admission - they're even an actual party I think most people would say that that looks like a rolling disaster, it's the gift that keeps on giving for a media that is likely already sharpening its knives for them because they don't even have to make anything up. By all means, be a fan of the party that doesn't exist if you want, but if I were you I would Simply Avoid reading any stories about them because they will probably just make you sad and lead to more of this, a half-hearted attempt to leap to their defence.
I actually truly hope that Your Party works out, because it would be nice to feel like I have another option to vote for now that Labour seem to be sunk-costing their way to becoming Reform-Lite, but all the evidence so far from its shambolic announcement onwards suggests that this simply won't be the hope I'm looking for. If they can go the rest of the year without another falling out I might feel the slightest optimism but past evidence would suggest that that won't happen.
I agree it's been more stumbling boulders than blocks so far, but I'm more optimistic. Even if it fails I think even just their effort can encourage more people that there can be another way, maybe the eventual answer will come from a different new party, cos like you say Labour is showing they aren't the answer.
I rarely bother giving media any attention, let alone let it influence my opinion. What frustates me is when other people do.
You are probably partly correct and it is being exasperated by the media. But you also don't often see public spats between the two major leaders of the party. The only other instance I could think of is Farage and Lowe, but I can't really say they are a serious party.
