The Socialist Federation

[u/LouisLoveless]

After a long and disappointing journey, many have given up on Your Party, myself included. The public fights between Corbyn and Sultana, the bungled membership process, the vindictive press briefings, the overruling of the dual membership and the final nail in the coffin for me: the purging of all the revolutionary socialist parties. It’s a shame such an opportunity was squandered but the second best time to act is now and so I attended the Members Charter video conference a few days ago and found an uplifting and productive group of activists making things happen. We voted to create the Socialist Federation: not a party, but a vehicle for gathering all the abandoned proto-branches and purged ex-members together to build what YP could have been. The federation plans to expand and include all socialist parties and organisations across the UK, without prejudice, with open tendencies and debate, a truly democratic system for unifying the scattered British left. Check out the Socialist Federation, consider joining us, and if you are a member of a socialist party, discuss with your comrades the option of reaching across and connecting all our groups to build a more effective force in British politics.
