Fractious, back-biting, unstrategic: so far, Your Party has managed to recreate the Labour party in all but scale. But that isn’t to say there aren’t signs of life. A bevy of Scottish Greens, including councillors and high-profile activists, defected to Your Party last week. Regional assemblies are set to get underway, and those will be a test of how vibrant and engaged the party membership really is. Zack Polanski has transformed the Greens into a party capable of threatening Labour in the polls, but there remains an appetite for a socialist party – not just a party that’s friendly to socialists.
That’s the final paragraph. I don’t think that’s exactly turning on them. They’ve also not even properly started as a party yet so it’s a bit rich to declare that they’re “absolutely fucked” already.

I would love nothing more than to be wrong.
