Jeremy Corbyn starts a new party
 

For real. And in a taste of how right-on and radical things are about to get, eternal student activist Zarah Sultana MP has quit the Labour back benches to join him as co-leader.

Anyone care to predict what they’ll name this new party and how many seats it might pick up in 2029?

The socialist party? Zero
Real Labour and zero
The Knobhead party and 4

Guido and various twitterers are now saying Corbyn didn’t agree to Sultana’s announcement and he hasn’t yet agreed to join the new party.

So that’s all off to a characteristically good start.

We really need to change Election Law so that if someone resigns from their Party after they have have been elected as a representative of that Party, a by-election should take place…

In Jezza's case he's not a member of any party, chucked out of the Labour party in 2024, and elected as an Independent at the last election. Otherwise I agree.

I don't think Sultana sits on the Labour back benches as she had the whip withdrawn from her.

I would guess it might be called something like the Socialist Labour Party. Seems like Corbyn is popular enough in his own constituency so I would guess they will one seat in 2029.

However the idea is you elect a person not a party. Still all ,well mostly all of that will change in Wales, vote for party, and they select whom get in. Not sure how that will work for any independent :confused:

Ah Chris come on now, you know the rules, we’re not allowed to call parties (formed yet or not) nasty names!

You can consider my invitation in the OP - to suggest a name for this nameless, shuffling horror - to be a gold-plated, mod-proof shield. :D
