Over Quarter Labour Members Plan Vote for Corbyn's New Party

News summary

Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana's newly formed left-wing party, tentatively called 'Your Party,' is gaining significant traction among Labour members and the broader British electorate. Polling by Survation shows that 28% of Labour members might defect to this new party, while 59% desire a shift to the left within Labour itself, posing a challenge to Sir Keir Starmer's leadership. Concerns remain within Labour, as 51% of members fear that Corbyn's party could split the left-wing vote, benefiting the Conservatives or Reform UK. National polls reveal that 20% of all voters, including a third of young people aged 16-34 and a large portion of 2024 Labour and Green voters, are likely to support Corbyn's new party. An electoral alliance with the Green Party is also under consideration, with substantial backing from younger voters and those inclined toward left-wing politics. Labour's membership has declined sharply under Starmer, with over a third lost since Corbyn's leadership peak, while Corbyn's new party has attracted over 800,000 supporters since its launch, demonstrating a shifting political landscape on the left.
