I mean, given what's on offer with Labour and Reform, they seem to be the most viable party structure to organize behind.
Has "Your Party" figured their shit out yet?

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.

The only thing that Your Party will successfully do is split the green vote. Assuming they're still around at the next General Election.
I mean, in a number of instances, they appear to be operating in coalition. They're not total dummies.
But so much of "Your Party" is just Labour that got booted out by Starmer. And they're bringing in a ton of that Labour Party social baggage, with all the same old self-serving impulses. Doesn't help that Corbyn is leading with the lightest of light touches (the kind of weak party discipline that collapse Left-Labour in 2017). The biggest victim of Your Party vote splitting seems to be Your Party itself.
Corbyn is leading? But he isn't leader, is he?
No. They all want to lead, no one seems to want to build it. But to be fair, some of the points the article makes about the Greens - especially the lack of grass-roots organising - are not wrong.
We're a couple of years out but the Labour left, Your Party and the Greens need to establish some sort of electoral alliance to stand against what is an increasingly dangerous Right. Who am I kidding? Most of these parties exist to split the vote and let the Right maintain their rightful hegemony.
Building power in our proto-branches hasn’t been without its challenges. Hundreds of members in Bristol and Islington alone have signed up, but we can’t connect with them because HQ won’t give us their data. Around 60,000 people – more than have been members of a UK socialist party since the second world war – have been paying dues for months, and proto-branches have no access to that money nor clarity on where it’s going. We’ve tried to make contact with HQ to advertise meetings, grow the branch and support members, but received no response. The Grassroots Left slate we’re standing on will change that on day one, delivering members’ data and money back to them, rather than hoarding it at the top
Two competing slates have emerged: The Many, backed by Jeremy Corbyn; and The Grassroots Left, backed by Zarah Sultana, on which both of us are standing.
The Grassroots Left has endorsed both Corbyn and Sultana as co-founders, because this is not a clash of personalities between the two, as some believed it was last summer. This is about resolving a political and ideological difference about what the party should be. Do we want Your Party to be a top-down imposition of Labour 2.0? Or do we want it to be a democratic, member-led, socialist party capable of bringing about the systemic change we so desperately need?
hmm sounds rather divided but would be interesting to see
