Are you a paid-up member of the Labour Party?

[mauvais]

None of the options. You've got affiliate in the heading but nothing in the poll about it. I'm in Unite, it pays a membership fee component to Labour by default, I left that alone for a while, turned it off during the later Blair/Brown years, and back on when Corbyn was running. The closest thing then is "Yes, joined to support Corbyn" but it's not really true.

I looked into joining the party proper via CLPs a couple of times and was met with either silence or total disinterest so I've never bothered to go further.

 

[Sprocket.]

No. But I joined Plaid Cymru because it was free but now they're asking for money so I'm gone.

That’s why there isn’t a Yorkshire Independence Party.
The biggest cost would be trying to get money out of the population.
The motto would be ‘How Much?’

P&P seems solidly Corbynite.

No it isn't, have you seen this thread. There's a number of posters (like you) that are critics of Corbyn from the right and probably more that are critics from the left.

I actually tried joining up as a £3er during the height of Corbynmania 'cause I thought it might be a laugh. When I got one of those snotty letters accusing me of being a fake person or whatever, I realised that I wasn't that bothered.

And another bonus of being turned down due to your fake personage. You didn’t receive the daily phone calls from Owen Smith’s campaign team.

Just wait.

That's the spirit

Seen how much subscriptions are!


Besides it’s just an offshoot of the Tory party.

 

[FiFi]

I've lapsed again. A little to do with all the in-fighting and anti-semitism, but mainly because my workplace has started charging for parking and I need the money for that.

 

[Geri]

I applied to (re) join a few years ago but I got rejected.

 

[Shechemite]

Is it like the SWP where you have to do paper sales every fuckking Saturday?

 

[Badgers]

No. But I joined Plaid Cymru because it was free but now they're asking for money so I'm gone.

Gone where?

 

[marshall]

fuck no, lol.

They suspected you were a (Groucho) Marxist?

 

[editor]

Gone where?

Gone to a party that has booze and loud music.

This is why I chucked the Salvation Army in!

 

[Fedayn]

Yes

 

[skyscraper101]

No, can't see myself ever joining either. All my voting for them is more anti-Tory and anti-LibDem than a pro Labour tip. I'd sooner join the Natural Law Party if they were still a thing.

 

[The39thStep]

Nope never have and never will.

 

[chilango]

Hell no.

 

[Geri]

I think they thought I was a member of the Socialist Party, which isn't true. I did sign nomination papers a couple of times to enable one of them to stand in local elections.

 

[danny la rouge]

Yes

You still there, Fed? I wondered if it had worn off by now.

As to the OP, I can’t vote: I was a member in the early 80s (technically LPYS), but haven’t been and wouldn’t be since.

 

[newbie]

Nope never have and never will.

quite so.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Nope. I did vote for them at the last election but that's as far as I'd go.

I am not a quitter ... I am a fighter

Still there, hanging on like grim death.

 

[BobDavis]

Not been a member for years. I would join again but I can’t be arsed because of all the emails I’d probably get. I will vote Labour at next election though & always have.

 

[Argonia]

Joined the day it was announced that the Corbynator was in charge.

 

[William of Walworth]

No to the OP question, I haven't been a Labour member since about 2004-ish.
I might? have considered rejoining once Corbyn got in, but only on a union-affiliated basis.
I'm PCS though, and they're a Civil Service union (not allowed to be "party-political" ). So I didn't.

TBF, there's only been a couple of elections since 1983 that I haven't voted Labour.
and etc., but it's always been about hating the Tories for me
