In just 3 days, Jeremy Corbyn’s new leftist political party has surpassed 500,000 members making it the largest political party membership in the UK

Yes! At least as far as we have data for. The last official data is 432k for Labour Party in 2022 (the biggest party by almost 3x). Your Party (that’s the current name of Corbyn’s new party) today passed 500k. And, interestingly many of those members probably came from Labour so the gap surely widened.

Corbyn posted on instagram about the 500k, but here’s the only news outlet I’m seeing mention it yet.

Good question. I believe they’re signing up to join the party. Fight for a Future made the “biggest political party in the UK” claim. Zarah Sultana and Corbyn who will co-lead the party,   referred to them as 500,000 people have joined. And the text of the form on the site seems to be along the lines of how you would affiliate yourself with a party in Canada whose system is similar. But I do think the party is not official yet so I guess it can’t be 1:1 the same. Still very promising for when it does become official.

Ok but are these people officially registering or signing up to support a 3rd option? (I don’t want to get my hopes up)
