00:00I think we do need something very different.

00:02The levels of inequality in this country are appalling.

00:05The growth of the billionaire class and the growth of the homeless sector

00:08are going side by side.

00:10I think we do need something very different.

00:12And so this party, grassroots, open, democratic, inclusive.

00:17So far the party doesn't have an official name.

00:20It's been provisionally called your party.

00:22Members will vote on that this weekend.

00:24What's your preference?

00:25I personally like your party.

00:27On Sunday I'm going to go like this.

00:30And bring out a piece of paper and read out the results.

00:32Like the Oscars.

00:33Like the Oscars, yeah.

00:34Yeah, the Oscars.

00:34And I thank everyone for their contribution.

00:37And we'll decide what the name is that way.

00:39It's a very democratic way of doing things.

00:41And I want something that's short and inclusive and involves people.

00:46And I think we've got a choice that involves all of them.

00:49Another big choice that you've got to make

00:50is whether people can be members of this party

00:53and other left-wing parties simultaneously.

00:56What's your view?

00:57My view is that I think people should be members of this party

01:00and not members of another party

01:02because I think that just creates problems on policymaking

01:06and problems on relationships.

01:08That's right.

01:09I think people should be member of this party

01:11because of our country.

01:12And I think people should be able to address them

01:13because they're not going to be able to address them.

01:14You know, people should be there.

01:16But that's the only thing.

01:16You can make a choice.

01:17You know, it's not going to be able to address them.

01:19I think people should be able to address them.
