YP supporters will be forced to choose between the two supposed co-leaders, after a week of yet more hostile briefings by each camp against the other’s figurehead, instead of a joint event depicting unity, if not personal then at least of purpose before the party’s founding conference.
What a clusterfuck of farcical proportions this whole thing has turned out to be.
I guess I was offline the day this was being explained, too.
My vague understanding is that one of them had money and the other had a massive mailing list. I think that’s from trash future (November Kelly).
I don’t have the impression anyone had any good, strong ideas. Other than “let’s get out of the fucking labour party”. That’s a good start but I guess they figured the details would sort themselves out. No name; no platform, no internal structure. All the tensions of anticommunist leftwing parties.
