Your Party, a new left-wing political party spearheaded by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana, held its inaugural conference in Liverpool this weekend. Despite initial high interest, the conference revealed ongoing disagreements between Corbyn and Sultana regarding the party's leadership structure. Corbyn favors a traditional leadership model with a single elected leader, while Sultana advocates for a collective leadership structure involving lay members. Sultana was notably absent from Corbyn's opening address, highlighting the division. The conference aimed to provide a fresh start for the party and attract former Labour members, but the leadership dispute suggests challenges remain.
