THOUSANDS are set to gather in Liverpool on Saturday for the eagerly awaited inaugural Your Party conference.

Delegates selected through a sortition process, designed to ensure fair representation, will travel from around the country to debate the party’s founding documents at the ACC arena.

With a membership of 50,000, the party is the largest socialist party in Britain in 80 years.

There are hopes the conference will draw a line under the disputes and infighting that have marred the party’s launch.

These included the launch of rival membership systems, disputes over funds, and saw two of the original six MPs involved walk away from the project.

This weekend, members will agree on a founding statement asserting the party’s principles, a constitution and an organisational strategy.

They will also vote on a new leadership model for the party, and decide whether it will be led by a single leader until late 2027, or a “collective leadership model.” No option for co-leadership will be on the ballot.

Zarah Sultana spoke to Socialist Worker ahead of the Your Party conference

‘Your Party must be explicitly socialist, anti-imperialist and anti-Zionist—and also as maximally democratic,’ she told Socialist Worker

Zarah Sultana issued a rallying call for the left to unite and fight ahead of the Your Party founding conference in Liverpool this weekend.

She told Socialist Worker, “Labour is plummeting in the polls because this government has failed the working class.

“It has failed to help people here at home—and it has alienated thousands if not millions by materially participating in the genocide in Gaza.

“Reform UK is exploiting that anger, but it’s just the establishment in disguise.

“Farage scapegoats migrants to distract from his neoliberal economic agenda.

“We have a duty to offer a real alternative. Your Party must be explicitly socialist, anti-imperialist and anti-Zionist—and also as maximally democratic.

“We must build a party robust enough to take on entrenched power and win.

“No more tinkering at the edges—we need to reconstruct our society from first principles. We need socialism.

“History will not forgive us if we fail to capitalise on this moment. The options are socialism or barbarism.

“We must fight, we must unite and we must win.”
