The Your Party committee election was chaos. Why break the habit of a lifetime?

"Its two most prominent members, Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana, seem barely able to stand being in the same room as each other. Allegations of financial misconduct over membership fees and donations. A party conference which Sultana refused to attend on the first day. Accusations of corruption and sexism."

"A reminder that the left often prefers to pick a fight with other groups on the left rather than the rightwing parties. A misplaced Marxist dialectic or some other thought crime of false consciousness seemingly far worse than threatening to deport hundreds of thousands of foreigners."

"Once you're addicted to chaos, it rather comes to define everything you do. It's now part of Your Party's corporate culture. Come 11.10 the YouTube channel was still silent. Not a word of apology to those who had tuned in."

Your Party, a left-wing political organization, has experienced significant internal turmoil throughout its existence. The party is characterized by deep divisions between prominent members Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana, alongside allegations of financial misconduct, corruption, and sexism. Internal factionalism and constant briefings dominate party dynamics, with members seemingly more focused on conflicts within the left than opposing right-wing parties. Despite these challenges, the party has survived to conduct leadership elections for its central executive committee. However, the organization's dysfunction became apparent when scheduled livestream results failed to materialize at the announced time, with no communication or apology provided to waiting members. This incident exemplifies how chaos has become normalized within the party's operations.
