Our Statement on Socialist Expulsions:
The leadership of Your Party has crossed a political Rubicon. By expelling a senior member of a political organisation that is participating in the Party on the eve of the founding conference, their autocratic habits threaten to waste the potential that still remains in this project. A party that begins with a purge announces that it prefers command from above to the self-activity of its own members. This act is not discipline. It is a clumsy factional blow. At the very moment when the left most needs open debate and the free contest of socialist currents, the leadership reaches instinctively for the methods of the Labour right: silence the opposition first, invent the rationale later—if at all.

🚨 Be aware!

If you have endorsed any motions, then you will need to endorse them again.

The party website has deleted all endorsements - and some of the standing orders motions were on over a hundred endorsements already (!).

Your Party needs to be a big tent, multi-tendency, socialist party.

We need an Option C: members of other parties can join as long as their party doesn't run against us in elections.
Roadmap Amendment 2 Clause 4 Option A Dual Membership with aligned allied parties Members shall be permitted to hold membership in other national political parties where they have been approved by the CEC as aligning with the Party's values, to include those with whom the Party cooperates electorally. The approved list shall be subject to ongoing CEC review and annual ratification by National Conference. Option B No Dual Members Members may not hold membership in any other national political party.

🧵 We're really glad the party has chosen to put forward collective leadership as an option.

Here's our vision for collective leadership and why it's important 👇

The second round of delegates to Your Party conference have been selected!

The confirmation email informs that the founding documents crowd-editing portal will close tomorrow at midday:
Meanwhile, our unique online crowd-editing tool, pioneered by our friends at DiEM25, has allowed thousands of members to directly propose changes to the documents you will be debating at the conference. Crowd-editing submissions will close at midday, Wednesday 19 November. There's no reason why, as a conference participant, you can't suggest changes using this tool, so if you've been meaning to get around to it, now is the time. Later this week we will publish revised drafts of the four documents, updated in response to the regional assemblies and crowd-editing submissions. These will be the versions going into the conference, so keep your eyes peeled.

🚨🚨🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨🚨🚨

This old draft of the constitutional document for @thisisyourparty.bsky.social is vague, rushed, and limits members to binary choices with no way to introduce new ideas. Members deserve real scrutiny, not a rubber stamp.
