Your Party's Failing Membership System Leaves Members in Limbo
When supporters joined Your Party in September, with its promise of challenging the rigged system, few anticipated the chaos that would ensue. The party, founded by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana, was touted as a beacon of hope for diverse voices. However, members are now struggling to cancel their subscriptions due to a botched membership portal.
The situation has become increasingly frustrating, with many subscribers facing difficulties in cancelling their memberships despite repeated attempts. Emails sent to the party's administration have gone unanswered, leaving some to question the organization's commitment to its founding principles.
In an effort to rectify the issue, Sultana reportedly established a new portal with a different domain name, collecting subscriptions and claiming that she acted out of necessity to safeguard grassroots involvement. However, this move has created a communication breakdown between the two portals, leaving disillusioned members unable to cancel their memberships or access their data.
The situation has raised questions about the party's ability to manage its finances and membership systems. An investigation by MOU Operations found that more than £500,000 had been raised through Sultana's portal, but when she resigned as director, her team took responsibility for refunds without prior consent from the party.
A spokesperson for Your Party acknowledged that the unauthorised portal caused "serious issues" and offered three months of free membership to those who signed up on Zarah's portal. However, many members remain dissatisfied with this gesture, citing concerns over the lack of transparency and accountability in the party's operations.
As a symbol of democratic reform, Your Party's struggles have highlighted the importance of effective governance and communication within organizations. With the party's reputation hanging in the balance, its leadership must take immediate action to address these issues and restore trust with its members.

. I mean, come on, a botched membership portal? That's not exactly what you'd call a 'rigged system' challenge 
. And now they're making it worse by trying to cover their tracks and offering three months of free membership without being transparent about how it works? No thanks 
.
. It's not just about fixing the portal, it's about listening to your members and taking their concerns seriously 
. If they can't even manage that, then maybe they're not as committed to democratic reform as they claim 
.
I know he co-founded the party, but now that it's struggling, I don't see him speaking up or taking responsibility for his own creation 
. Not great leadership if you ask me 
.
. It's like they were sold a dream and then woke up to find it was just a nightmare 
. The fact that there's no clear answer on how to cancel memberships or access data is just ridiculous, I mean what kind of organization can't even manage its own portal? 
And now the party's trying to sweep it under the rug by offering free membership for three months, but let's be real, that's just not good enough 
. We need transparency and accountability from our politicians, especially when they claim to represent us 
.
! i mean, your party started out looking like a breath of fresh air for change, but now it's like they're just making things worse 
. cancelling memberships without being able to access your data? that's just a huge red flag 
. and what's up with the new portal being set up behind everyone's backs? it feels like they're trying to sweep this under the rug 
.
. transparency and accountability are key, especially when you're trying to be the voice for democratic reform 
.
. They're like a bad joke at this point. If Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana can't even get their own party's systems together, how are we supposed to trust them with our hard-earned cash?

always makin mistakes but still expectin u 2 love em

i mean, what's the point of having a party that's supposed to represent people's voices if u can't even manage ur own finances properly? 
. Like, what's the story behind this botched portal anyway? Was it just a mistake or was there something more shady going on? And £500k raised without proper consent? That's some serious red flag waving right there 
.
i dont get why they cant just make it easier 4 ppl 2 cancel their subs 
The leadership needs to get their act together and figure out how to sort this mess out ASAP. I don't get why they couldn't just leave things as they were instead of trying to "safeguard grassroots involvement" by throwing up a new portal. It's just causing more problems.
