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?

Re: Jeremy Corbyn starts a new party
 
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I don't think Sultana sits on the Labour back benches as she had the whip withdrawn from her.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
