Fuck sake.
This cannot be how piss poorly organised this party starts if it actually wants to make a serious change. Some of the voter may be thick as shit and willing to pour their money into scams. But, the people I know who want to support something like this are also all smart enough to avoid being caught up in it.
Not so sure.
If what ZS claims is true. It is exactly how I'd expect certain MPs used to leading parties rather then following members requirements. To try and mess with a party before it gains any power.
The whole idea that this party is supposed to be entirely membership lead. Is very opposed to how labour or any other political party has worked in the past. And if certain MPs felt they were about to lose power to such a party. This is exactly how they could take it down.
Let's be honest. It was exactly what a large %of MPs and Labour workers did to Labour when Corbyn tried to make that more democratic.
Not only that ... the site isn't up to scratch really. It's not finished and just been pushed.
What does "concessionary member" actually mean. Is there any policing of this? Why does the link in the emails sent out "https://api.secondstreetapp.com/m_c_t/" not work? It could just be that secondstreetapp have been overloaded? Why is that link not just to the membership portal?
Why does the main page and portal not link together to show they're valid.
I get what others here are saying. I'm not sure this is a scam, I'm also not sure this is not a scam site. But it's not giving off vibes of quality and consistency.
If Zarah has seen some internal conflict. Making that part of releasing the site, rather than this blindsided approach seems more prudent. This is farsical right now.
One at a time. Most will be guesses on my part. Based on ZS claims only. As the other MPs have not shared anything beyond claiming it's unauthorised.
Weather you trust her is entirely up to you.
2 fees:
Under Corbyn Labour also had a cheaper membership option in theirs you could set your own price but the adviced £3pm. It was intended for unemployed or anyone short on cash. As such never had any rules or limitations to who was able to pay it. Or changes in membership rights.
It was removed after he resigned.
Seems likely this is the same thing. It's just providing the cheapest option to join and a recommended one for those without fiscal issues.
Why a new site:
Her whole post covers this to some extent.
ZS claims she and JC agreed that until membership voting was implemented. All docs and agreements would only be released with both founders authority.
She did not auth the proposed roadmap. Due to background funding issues (accounts not owned by the party and controlled by 3rd party) and non democratic management.
ZS claims she was shut out of the accounts and control of the site. So she set up the membership site to garrentee a membership existed to vote on such thing. As the original founding rules indicated.
You really need to read her post to get more of these claims. But if true. Shit was questionable.
Publisising the internal conflict:
She has done so on the membership site. Posted an email to all members that signed up via her site. With a very detailed breakdown of her concerned,
The other side has (according to ZS) shut her out of the yourparty.uk mailing list. Before sending the routemap against the agreed rules.
(let's go with OMP for Other MP party supports. We do not know JCs so letts assume just non founding MPs untill he comments)
The OMP have sent a letter indicating her site is not authed Vis the Yourparty.UK mailing list. ZS claims to have been locked out off. The new website and social media is the only place she can indicate her claims.
