Your Party

Your party just sent out an email updating everyone yesterday, the main points are below.

Timeline at a glance:

• September: Membership opens, first draft documents published and regional assemblies start.
• October: Assemblies continue, draft documents revised, online vote on party name.
• November: Delegates selected, amendments submitted, founding conference takes place.

Sign up to become a facilitator organising and running regional assemblies here.

Talks about rallying the left against Nigel Farage and coalition building without compromising on values.

The activist group rs21 is running a couple events discussing the direction of the party in London (14/09) and Manchester (27/09) this month. Might be a good way to get to know your local Your Party members!

For those who aren't familiar with rs21 they describe themselves as:

Revolutionary Socialism in the 21st Century (rs21) is an ecosocialist, feminist, anti-racist and anti-imperialist organisation based in Britain.

The Labour Party could have made the case for a humane immigration system that treats refugees with dignity. Instead it has fanned the flames of racism and emboldened the far right.

For anyone joining Your Party or interested in the ideals etc.

Gary's Economics is a very good channel to watch. The guy really knows his stuff.

He is doing a good job of pushing the data and obvious risk of economic inequality on social media.

This link is not the best first one, I'd recommend spending time watching his understanding wealth series. He dose a very good job of pointing out why the current inequality happened etc.

But this video cross posted is a good indication of the work ahead for YourParty before the next election. it is going to take time and funding to form a good wealth tax policy. And the Party should start soon after the 1st conference.

I don't know if there is an official campaign as the title says, but exciting stuff!

As you are new to this. Thought more experienced may want a place to offer friendly advice.

First it is common to post rules for communities in the side bar. Normally just behaivior type things. Look at a few other communities on political parties and use what you feel in appropriate.

As the community grows. You may want to find folks you trust and ask them to help mod the group. This is mainly folks with the authority to delete posts that break said rules. Multiple people help limit the time offensive nsfw or outright advertising like posts (assuming they are rules you want. NSFW is required by feddit.uk as are a few others.) are up and causing issues.

Feddit UK really is a fairly good space people wise, but Any political forum attracts fecal exit points.

Others may have more ideas.

Ok I'll create the first thread. As name is important here is a chance to chat about ideas.

I like "Your Left"

It both forces future MPs and party leaders workers etc to remember it is the members party. Rather then MPs ala PLP. While also ensuring a left of centre bias to the parties idealism.

Labour very much from recent history lost / threw away membership control. This will act as a long term reminder.

Saw this shared on the reddit group, it is an online poll where you can contribute and vote on name suggestions anonymously. Good way to get ideas for names if you haven't submitted one yet.

I made a group on SimpleX. In case you aren't aware SimpleX is one of the the most secure messaging platforms because it takes the secure encryption of Signal, but removes the requirement for identification. This improves the repudiation ability, and because of its federated design it is extremely hard to suppress. Although I guess on lemmy I'm preaching to the choir. As a digital privacy nerd I figured it would be important for the new party to have a secure place to chat that isn't at the whims of Meta.

As usual, this is unofficial and I am very new to political organising, so happy to take suggestions. Just wanted to contribute the way I know how :)
