We don't need permission, Connect Your branch, Make YourParty... OurParty!
Register Your Branch ↓Your Party promised something we've been waiting for: a truly democratic, grassroots, member-led political movement. Not another party where decisions are made at the top and handed down to members who are expected to knock on doors and deliver leaflets without any real say in policy or direction.
This is different. This is about real democratic control - where members across the country have genuine input on policy, where local branches have real power, where grassroots doesn't just mean "doing what we're told at ground level."
The enthusiasm is real. The energy is there. Thousands of people are ready to build something genuinely new. This is the opportunity we've been waiting for.
People are already organising! Across the UK, people like you and me have spontaneously taken the initiative to set up Your Party proto-branches. Because they understood this is an important historical moment, and there is no time to waste.
At the moment proto-branches are using WhatsApp and Facebook for helping individuals find each other, organising local meetups, building relationships in your area. But they're not designed for the organisational work we need to do. Try coordinating policy proposals across regions on WhatsApp. Try collaborating on national constitutional documents via Facebook. Try maintaining transparent records of discussions and decisions.
The enthusiasm is there. The tools aren't. And that leaves us weak and vulnerable.
But here's what's actually happening at the top: open power struggles between different factions. The Corbyn and Sultana camps are publicly fighting over control of contact lists and donation money. Read the reports - this isn't speculation, it's documented reality.
This doesn't sound like "The Promise," does it?
Here's what the factions have in common: careers and identities built on being part of centralised power structures. And power like that is never willingly given away.
No matter how well-intentioned we are, power corrupts. Given time, it corrupts all of us. That's not cynicism - it's why decentralisation works. You can't fight over power that isn't concentrated. You can't be corrupted by power you don't hold alone.
This is why YOUR branch needs to be registered. Build the infrastructure that protects grassroots democracy.

For Communication: Branches can find and contact each other across regions. Yorkshire branches can coordinate with Scottish branches. London can connect with the North East. This creates networks that can't be controlled or shut down by any central authority.
For Collaboration: Real policy development doesn't happen in WhatsApp chats. It happens through careful collaboration on documents - constitutions, party rules, policy proposals. With branch-to-branch connections, we can:
No one owns this infrastructure. Everyone benefits from it. This is what member-led actually looks like in practice - not a slogan, but working infrastructure for democratic organising.
This is an unprecedented opportunity for Democracy. Not the type of "democracy" where every 4 years you choose leaders who have been selected by their donors, who make promises in manifestos that are forgotten after elections. Wait 4 years and repeat the cycle again... yay democracy.
Democracy literally means "people power."
Real power, built from the ground up, held by organised members who can coordinate across 650 constituencies. 12 regions. One movement. But only possible if we connect.
Power is never given. It's built. It's organised. It's taken by people who refuse to wait for permission.
Only if branches across the UK can find each other, talk to each other, organise together, hold leadership accountable together - only then can we build the infrastructure that makes grassroots control real, not rhetorical. Only then can we make Your Party... Our Party.
