Resolved yes if Dominic Cummings publicly announces the launch of a new political party before the day on which the next General Election in the UK is held. Definition of party will be any group that plans to achieve electoral votes (i.e. not just a pressure group - may not necessarily be seeking votes in the most imminent General Election).
He previously posted about this on his substack: https://dominiccummings.substack.com/
"Already I’m getting messages from MPs and donors ‘How do we rebuild the Party after the inevitable, can we have a quiet chat?’ NO NO NO. No more excruciating Tory dinners. No more ‘X is obviously not up to it but … maybe … we could build a team around them, oh god pass the red…’ NO. Plough the old Tory Party into the earth with salt. I prefer the calls that start, ‘Come on, it’s time for the startup party let’s go’.
This is the time to start building the replacement so that from 2200 on election night in October-December 2024 the old Party is buried and a new set of people with new ideas start talking to the country and can take over in 2028 and give voters the sort of government they want and deserve."
"NB. please remember what I said before, a new party is a startup and it’s a good way to think about this project, but The Startup Party isn’t an actual name, it’s a place holder, plenty of time for horrific arguments about names if we make this real!"
