The new Corbyn-Sultana party will need more than democracy to win
Tuesday, August 5, 2025Recently former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and former MP Zarah Sultana, both now expelled from the Labour party, formed a new as-yet-unnamed party. Within a few days, they had over 600,000 people register their interest (I initially wrote "members" based on me what I thought they'd said in interviews, thanks to Simone for the correction). They're promising action on the kind of things you'd expect: wealth inequality, public ownership, climate, Gaza. They also promise to be radically democratic, allowing members to choose the party's name, constitution, and policies. But we already have a party that promises action on all these things, and has a similar commitment to internal party democracy: the Green Party. And admirable though these commitments have been, they have not been particularly successful electorally.
