I joined NIP yesterday, though still haven't pulled the trigger on leaving the labour party, because it's what the neolib mafia want. if all the socialists leave, they get to inherit the largest party in the country no strings attached.
it's kinda weird that NIP popped up as a socialist party considering the trend of regionalist parties to be fairly politically dull or right-wing; more so because I have in the past fantasised about the north of England seceding and merging with Scotland to form Scorthumberland or some shit.
