Comment on Created a lemmy community for Your Party
echodot@feddit.uk 3 weeks agoThis what I mean about Corbyn is not a good politician. He’s bad at his actual job.
To be good in politics you have to be good at sales, and rule one of sales is make it possible for people to Google your product. Give it a name that is easy to remember and easy to spell. I’ve seen lots of bad product names, this is the first time I’ve ever seen someone trying to launch a product, (because that is essentially what a political party is) without a name at all.

Yes he sold left wing labour to more voters then Starmer both in number and %. More voters then any leader post Blair.
While Starmer lost votes in the last election and only won because the Tories lost more.
Corbyn sold his policies not only to more voters then Starmer ever did. He had the largest membership join the party of any political party in history.
The argument he fails to sell is Just an outright false one. Invented by the right of labour to justify their attacks etc.
Also he is not actually the leader of YourParty.uk No one is. That is a membership decision. He has just agreed to stand.

As reform has demonstrated membership doesn’t equal votes. A lot of votes will simply be to try and get labour to wake up and realise people unhappy with them.
I really hope the name your party doesn’t stick because it’s terrible. I get what they’re going for with the name but it just doesn’t track.

Polling indicated 15%. But that’s one poll and far to early to be more then interesting. But it is interesting.
More so is how much they inspire the young under 35s are polling at nearly 50%. Add that to that is also the voters Labour under Corbyn got to turn out in far higher numbers then normal. (Remembering he actually had way higher vote numbers then Starmer. Even in 2019.
And well yes it’s just interesting at this point but it is promising for a new direction of politics.
Name wise. I agree but your party was always planned as a te,p name. To make a point about it being a community party rather then the much more top down labour is. Corbyn did try to make Labour less top down. As did Mlliband sp? Starmer reset it all and increased leadership control.
It dose interest me that amounts the membership. A fair for like your Party. Seems to be a Ove hate things. But I’d be surprised if it stays. We will start to see a short list of names around autumn when the vote will happen.
