- How does Your Party compare to the Green Party on Iran?
- Both parties oppose UK military involvement in Iran operations and sit in the same cross-party parliamentary Coalition. The Greens have a larger and longer-established Commons presence; Your Party is newer and draws more explicitly from the anti-war left that split from Labour.Source: Lowdown
- Can Your Party force a parliamentary vote on UK involvement in Iran?
- Unlikely with current numbers. The cross-party Coalition attracted only 11 co-sponsors for Corbyn's bill. The government holds a working majority and Starmer has framed base access as a matter for the executive, not the Commons. Public opposition runs at 58% but has not yet translated into parliamentary arithmetic.Source: Lowdown
Background
Your Party is a newly formed left-wing party in the United Kingdom, positioned to the left of Keir Starmer's Labour on Foreign Policy, defence, and redistribution. Founded in the mid-2020s, it draws anti-war and anti-interventionist voters who feel unrepresented by the mainstream centre-left. Its parliamentary presence remains small within the 650-seat Commons.
The party's most visible role is in the cross-party Coalition opposing British military involvement in operations against Iran, alongside the Green Party, independent MPs, and Labour backbenchers. That Coalition formed in spring 2026 as public opposition to the use of UK bases for US strikes became clear . When Jeremy Corbyn introduced a bill requiring parliamentary approval for base access, Your Party co-sponsored it, though it attracted only 11 MPs in total .
The party embodies a structural tension in British politics: YouGov polling showed 58% of Britons oppose US use of UK bases for Iran strikes, yet the government faces no binding Commons check on such decisions . Whether Your Party can convert that public sentiment into sustained parliamentary leverage, or remains a protest voice without the numbers to force a vote, is the defining question of its early life.
