The Ben Habib who thinks Trump is a good bet and that Tommy Robinson is a political prisoner.

It is an existing party he's taken over. He says he might rename it.

I see. I think it would be sensible for them to rename the party, because no party could live up to that name.

OP

I thought you like Starmer?!

The two couldn’t be further apart😄

It is registered on the Government website, and it has a website of its own.

Presumably there will be a launch?

Was this not a 'team name' on The Apprentice

I think so.

Perhaps this will be as useless!

Is Rupert Lowe involved? (I cant find much information on this new Party except on the likes of X)
Is it for real or a Ben Habib stunt?

I think if it would split the Reform vote that would be a good thing. Maybe then Starmers Labour Party could stop being so afraid of losing votes to Reform

Had to look up "uni party"

"Uniparty is used as a term to suggest that ostensibly separate political parties actually function as a single party"

You mean Reform and "Integrity"?

(genuine puzzle here)

On the face of it it looks like what sometimes happens at far left or far right groups, the tendency to fall out easily? (when I was involved in student politics way back, there were at least 4 very"lefty" groups up for election)

Are there enough MP's with integrity to form a party?

Doodledog Wed 16-Apr-25 17:30:29

What is the Uni-party?

Oreo Wed 16-Apr-25 16:59:28

Integrity?😁 You can just imagine down the line, when MP’s from it are hauled up before the beak for various transgressions what the papers will make of that name.

I like him very much. He’s inspirational and (I think) honest.
But he will split votes even further. Do we need another party? However is more choice a good thing? Many voters are sick of what they are calling ‘the Uni-party’. What do you think?
