Fractious, back-biting, unstrategic: so far, Your Party has managed to recreate the Labour party in all but scale, writes Ash Sarkar. But that isn’t to say there aren’t signs of life.

    That lot is a bag of snakes that’s been hit with a bat. They will snipe and bitch at each other and never get anything done.

    I have no doubt the money will disappear

      I want them to get it together, but mostly cos there’s certain seats that Your Party will win or have a good chance of winning that the Greens won’t. We need a united front but so far it’s not looking great. Really needs to happen in good time before next year’s local elections

      Fractious, back-biting, unstrategic: so far, Your Party has managed to recreate the Labour party in all but scale. But that isn’t to say there aren’t signs of life. A bevy of Scottish Greens, including councillors and high-profile activists, defected to Your Party last week. Regional assemblies are set to get underway, and those will be a test of how vibrant and engaged the party membership really is. Zack Polanski has transformed the Greens into a party capable of threatening Labour in the polls, but there remains an appetite for a socialist party – not just a party that’s friendly to socialists.

      That’s the final paragraph. I don’t think that’s exactly turning on them. They’ve also not even properly started as a party yet so it’s a bit rich to declare that they’re “absolutely fucked” already.
