After months of bureaucratic provocations, the withholding of data, funds and support for the Holyrood election in May, Your Party has suffered a mass resignation in Scotland. The Scottish CEC member Niall Christie, the entirety of the Interim Scottish Executive Committee along with many others have effectively been forced out of the party.
Your Party Scotland held a conference in Dundee in February where documents were submitted, amended and voted on. Jeremy Corbyn spoke at the conference, so could not have been surprised by the decisions members took on dual membership, an independent Scottish party and standing socialists in the elections. Yet, almost immediately members in Scotland had their efforts stymied and work undermined. Following the CEC election, their rep fought to have Scotland and the elections taken seriously, but to no avail. Instead, the Officers Group, under the direction of Jeremy Corbyn, dispensed with conference decisions and sought to force members to either capitulate to the leadership clique or leave. This was part of what appeared to be a general culture on the CEC of poor and opaque communication with no sense of urgency or leadership around the imminent Holyrood elections.
Your Party Scotland has been dealt a fatal blow by the party leadership. It is another sign that Your Party as a whole is in a death spiral.
Democratic Socialists of Your Party extends our solidarity to Scottish members who have decided to leave. We look forward to working with them all in the fight for the internationalist, democratic socialist party workers and the left in Scotland and across Britain desperately need.
