Your Party was announced on 24 July 2025 by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana. Within days, 600,000 people signed up on the party's website. By the November 2025 founding conference in Liverpool, 55,000 had become paying members. A 91 percent conversion failure. By early 2026, polling support had collapsed from 18 percent of the electorate willing to consider voting for the party in July 2025 to 12 percent by November to barely 1 percent today. The Green Party, which elected Zack Polanski as leader in September 2025, tripled its membership to 230,000 in the same period and is now polling at 17 percent. Your Party has been comprehensively eclipsed by the party that occupies the same political space and did not spend its first six months fighting with itself.
The founding was chaotic. Sultana launched a paid membership portal before Corbyn had agreed to it. Corbyn's allies accused Sultana of acting unilaterally. Sultana instructed defamation lawyers against unnamed figures making "false and defamatory statements" about her. Jamie Driscoll, Andrew Feinstein and Beth Winter, the directors of the company set up to support the party's creation, published a letter saying they had "tried to mediate between Jeremy and Zarah for some weeks" and that one side had "not responded despite multiple attempts." Sultana withdrew her legal threats "as an act of good faith." A public reconciliation followed. She compared her relationship with Corbyn to that of the Gallagher brothers. For a party claiming to build member led socialism, the founders could not manage the launch without lawyers, mediators and an Oasis analogy.
The Central Executive Committee elections in February 2026 formalised the split. Corbyn's faction, "The Many," won 14 of the 24 seats. Sultana's "Grassroots Left" faction won seven. Independents won three. On 8 March 2026, The Many elected Jennifer Forbes as chair, former MP Laura Smith as vice chair, and Corbyn as parliamentary leader, a position that did not exist under the party's constitution. Corbyn's camp then used its majority to suspend and expel members of pro Sultana groups, including members associated with the Socialist Workers Party. The purge was justified on the grounds that "proto-branches" had been "run by the Socialist Workers Party and other sectarian groups seeking to exert control of the party through control of the branches." The member led democratic party expelled members for organising.
In Scotland, the entire leadership committee resigned en masse. The Scottish branch effectively collapsed. The party that was supposed to challenge Labour from the left across Britain could not hold together north of the border.
The electoral record is definitive. Your Party initially listed 24 candidates across 15 wards for the May 2026 local elections. Four candidates were withdrawn. Twenty stood across 12 wards. None were elected. Zero seats. A party founded to challenge Labour in elections has not won a single vote that produced a single seat.
The Independent Alliance, the parliamentary group formed in September 2024, has fractured around the party. Of the original five members, Adnan Hussain and Iqbal Mohamed withdrew their support. Shockat Adam and Ayoub Khan remain listed as Independent MPs who support Your Party but cannot formally declare as Your Party MPs because the parliamentary group and the party are legally distinct entities. The party has two declared MPs: Corbyn (Islington North, majority 7,247) and Sultana (Coventry South, majority 10,201). Both won their seats as independents or as Labour before the party existed. Neither has won a vote under the Your Party banner.
The core policy problem is that the party's founding issues are being adopted by the party it split from. Sultana left Labour over the two child benefit cap. Labour scrapped the cap at the November 2025 Budget. The defining issue that catalysed the split is no longer distinctive. Your Party opposed arms sales to Israel and supported Palestinian recognition. Labour recognised Palestine on 21 September 2025. Another founding position partially adopted by the parent party. When the party you left steals your commitments, differentiation collapses.
On economic policy Your Party commits to mass redistribution of wealth and public ownership of energy, water, rail and mail. No wealth tax rate, threshold or revenue target has been published. No implementation path has been specified. Whether nationalisation would proceed by compulsory purchase, licence non-renewal or asset transfer is the difference between a slogan and a programme. Policy development has been deferred to the CEC, which is the structural answer to how redistribution would work: defer it.
On immigration, education, crime and Europe, the party has published nothing. For a party that split from Labour over Labour's rightward drift on immigration and civil liberties, the absence of a stated immigration position is remarkable. Either the CEC has not decided, or it has decided and the answer would alienate the founding coalition.
In February 2026, Your Party entered a "coordinated offensive" agreement with the Green Party to avoid electoral competition in specific regions. The arrangement concedes that Your Party cannot compete with the Greens in the same territory and acknowledges what the polling already shows: the Green Party has won the left of Labour space.
Your Party launched with 600,000 sign ups and arrived at its first election with 20 candidates and zero seats. It launched with two founders who could not agree on a membership portal and arrived at its first CEC elections with one faction purging the other. It launched to challenge Labour and watched Labour adopt its two defining policies before it was formally registered. It launched as a member led party and expelled members for organising. Its polling has collapsed from 18 percent consideration to 1 percent. Its Scottish branch has disintegrated. Its parliamentary allies have withdrawn. The Green Party has tripled its membership in the same period and won a historic by-election. Your Party has not shown that "your party" describes anyone beyond the two MPs who launched it and the shrinking number of members who have not yet left.
