What is striking about both Corbyn and Sultana is that they always fail to give any tangible reason not to just vote Green.
What are the specific policy points that the Green’s aren’t offering that necessitates a new party?
We’re socialist isn’t a justification.

What's the specific difference between your party and the greens?
"They aren't quite as socialist as us."
But how specifically?
"They just aren't."

This should be a major deal but it won’t be. And the main reason is simple.
Imagine trying to stir a response from the average person by talking to them about “investor-state dispute settlements”.
It sounds unbelievably boring so no one cares and I don’t know what the answer is sadly.

Zarah will use it to get her message out as quickly as possible on policy issues to control the narrative.
Meanwhile, Corbyn will be reluctant to say anything specific until he's communicated with half the party.
It's going to be a disaster.

I bought my used EV a year ago and according to a valuation, it's worth almost half now.
And yet my old petrol VW Polo kept almost all of its value.
How does that make sense?

That's the problem.
Everyone has a different definition and because of how it used to be defined many aren't sure if they are and therefore if the party will represent them.
It makes it a divisive word.
I think this is why the Greens avoid the word and just talk about working people..

i get the impression that Corbyn doesn’t want to lead a party and is reluctant to make decisions himself.
Whereas Zarah appears to be the other extreme.
Would make it very difficult for them to jointly lead the party.

The secretary of the Socialist Workers Party says he knows Corbyn well & they met up last week. They chatted on the train to conference
He got off the train & found out he'd been expelled from Your Party *by JC's allies*
(They're not allowing dual membership - ie being in another socialist party)
