Take Me To Your Leader

A party could not credibly contest a General Election without a candidate for Prime Minister, nor legally register with the Electoral Commission without a Leader. The Green Party had two, but it has done so much better since it gave up on that. What was good for little green men has turned out to be good for little Green nonbinaries.

Chosen by sortition, an extraordinary number of attendees at the Your Party Conference came clearly and outspokenly from what the last census showed to have been the half of one per cent of the population that professed a gender identity different from its biological sex, a half that is not electorally decisive in any parliamentary constituency. Corbynism the first time was not like that, and as an activist movement this one has spent the weekend siding against Jeremy Corbyn.
