Serious questions have to be asked about whether the Your/You/Ewe party will ever be launched. Recent events look more like a political boxing match rather than the launch of a political party. It is not uncommon for there to be divisions and civil wars at the top of political parties. The Your Party however hasn't even launched and yet the "leaders" (Sultana and Corbyn) are already slugging it out with the lawyers waiting on the sidelines.
If I were a betting man (I'm not) I'd put my money of Corbyn and Sultana each launching their own party in their own image. Thoughts of "splitters" spring to mind.

The factionalism of the political left has always been a problem, and I see no change likely. My suspicion is that Jeremy Corbyn will emerge as the sole capable leader, backed by a high proportion of the 800,000 who have tentatively allied themselves to his project, even without signing up as members. What will happen as regards Ms Sultana I cannot forecast, but my analysis is that either she will adapt to a secondary role in the new party or will disappear off the political scene,. My experience in the past of working with Corbyn has been that he is a thoughtful and effective potential leader, although of course I do disagree with his analysis in many matters (i.e. I am philosophically not in agreement with Marxism)
