This is no more then an opinion. But I would be interested in others view of it.

If we believe ZS and her supporters internal to the process.

What is happening to YP is very similar to tumers from when JC was leading labour. We saw evidence of internal attacks from the right in 2019. But tumers of his supporters infighting and trying to take control were common before then.

I think I and many members from that time put them down to the right string trouble. But I'm now starting to wonder.

Corbyn made a effort to move labour more democratic and membership led right from the start. Continuing from eds reduction in union power.

Given ZS claims and other insiders reports to the guardian etc.

Is it likely that the right had help from left PLP under labour. And those same MPs and union leaders are using their history with Corbyn to embed control early into the YP set up.

Added to multiple comments we have seen throughout YP communities on social media. Indicating distrust in the whole idea of a membership lead control.

Is the idea something the left is willing to fight for.

It's very disappointing, and feels like it has been a huge blow to a movement that the establishment has already been working hard to delegitimise. But at the same time I think it is important that we don't let people use this as the cudgel with which to kill our hope for this party.

Keep on keepin on

Yep. I think all supporters need to consider the group asking the MPs to all back off and let them form the party.

While also ensuring that team is clear. Any attempt to limit membership control is unacceptable. That is the main point this party has been advertised on. And how all membership and donations were sold.
