Organising Strategy (5/5)
Despite this caveat, the overall political importance of securing trans liberation within the OS document outweighs these concerns at this stage. Supporting this document helps lay foundations for a more democratic, socialist, and inclusive party.

Organising Strategy (4/5)
We note serious concerns about Motion 121. It risks recreating the bureaucratic union affiliation model that has historically undermined socialist organising. We support a rank-and-file, member-driven approach to TU work—not top-down affiliations.

Organising Strategy (3/5)
The document also enables branches to support targeted grassroots candidates, which could open avenues for DSYP-aligned local campaigns.

Organising Strategy (2/5)
The motions included on this question offer both symbolic and practical protections, helping to keep reactionary elements out of the party and showing solidarity with our trans comrades in a moment of real danger.

Organising Strategy (1/5)
Given the current political climate in YP and the wider left—especially the influence of transphobic forces in UK politics—it is essential that Your Party clearly defends and enshrines trans rights.

Standing Orders (3/3)
We are also concerned that the proposed regional structures for policy development sideline local branches, undermining member-led grassroots deliberation.

For these reasons, we recommend rejecting the Standing Orders.

Standing Orders (2/3)
Democracy must be deliberative, rooted in discussion, persuasion, and collective decision-making—not just digital polling.

Standing Orders (1/3)
These Standing Orders enshrine online OMOV as the primary method of decision-making. We believe this system fundamentally disenfranchises members, atomises participation, and—as this weekend has shown—is wide open to manipulation.
