Your Party votes to keep name and ditch co-leaders

Your Party has finally decided on its formal name as its founding conference comes to a close after months of confusion and indecision.

Co-founder Jeremy Corbyn announced that the party would continue to be called Your Party as he read out the result of a ballot. Members were told to choose between Your Party, Our Party, Popular Alliance and For The Many.

“So on every doorstep you can go up, they say ‘Who are you?’, you say it’s Your Party,” Mr Corbyn told delegates as he made the announcement yesterday afternoon.

The party name is one of many indecisions finally being rectified after months of public disputes between Mr Corbyn and co-founder Zarah Sultana. Just yesterday, Ms Sultana criticised the fact that one of her suggestions for a party name hadn’t been included as a voting option for members.

She said: “Interestingly, I also supported the ‘Left Party’ as being one of the names for the party that I supported, and that hasn’t also been included as an option for members, which actually is an undemocratic move.”

A party spokesperson said it was “Your Party all along”.
