Zarah Sultana has suggested that Your Party could explore an electoral pact with the Green Party to prevent Nigel Farage from becoming Prime Minister – a striking admission that signals how seriously the new left-wing movement views the threat posed by Reform UK.
Speaking on BBC Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, the MP for Coventry South said that while the two parties were “fundamentally different”, discussions about electoral cooperation were unavoidable if the goal was to stop Farage entering Downing Street.
🔵 ‘There has to be conversations around alliances’
Your Party has endured a messy and highly public internal struggle since its formation – culminating in Zarah Sultana boycotting the first day of the party’s inaugural conference, accusing senior figures of fostering a “toxic culture” and fuelling a “witch hunt”.
The movement has now confirmed Your Party as its permanent name, after members narrowly rejected proposals for a single elected leader. Instead, the project will be governed collectively by an internal committee.
Reflecting on the chaotic launch, Sultana conceded: “Neither me nor Jeremy have ever set up a new party before… this hasn’t been an easy process.”
But she insisted the movement was stabilising and was ready to look outward as well as inward.
🟢 A potential alliance with the Greens?
Asked whether disillusioned left-wing voters might prefer the increasingly confident Green Party – now polling neck-and-neck with Labour in some recent surveys – Sultana praised new Green leader Zack Polanski, saying they had a positive working relationship.
Pressed on whether she might work with, or even defect to, the Greens, she stopped short of ruling anything out:
“There has to be conversations around electoral alliances… the goal has to be to stop Nigel Farage from getting the keys to Downing Street.”
However, she stressed that Your Party and the Greens remain distinct political projects, describing her own organisation as:
“A socialist party… representing the working class and unafraid to talk about material issues affecting workers.”
The lesson from France is clear: the left has to work together at the next general election to stop fascism and prevent Nigel Farage from getting the keys to Number 10. pic.twitter.com/KEBl4PKpSl
