politics

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

We're trying but this orange ass keeps scribbling them out and writing FAKE overtop with a red marker...

party membership doesn't win elections tho.

seems the new party splits the labor vote (15%-15%) and gives Reform (the right-wing populist party) 34%

(Labor currently has a massive majority in parliament with just 32%)

so yea, take note indeed

lost 300,000 members since 2019 yet won one of the greatest majorities in parliament in UK history..

not sure where it is you're trying to get, but if it's a place where pointing out historical facts is "fearmongering" that must be ignored or suppressed then it's nowhere I want to be

Fearmongering on vote splitting is a great way to never get anywhere. Especially since, as centrist parties tend to vote more often with right wing parties on bills than with left parties.

And since, much of this split is expected to have come from the Labour Party directly who have lost 300,000 members since 2019. There shouldn’t be as big of a “split” as you imply.

So yeah, lesson in there, ignore this kind of nonsensical, go-nowhere thinking.

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.
