This article from August in now our of date, another 60,000 have joined making the total 330,000. These are not the £3 a go voters.
This does not include the associated members and registered supporters.
This support the biggest increase in 64 years is in the face of a disgraceful and systematic attack by the media.

Re: The Problem of Nominality or "proper names"
Don't get me wrong it brought a fair lump to my throat and a tear to the eye to listen to his conference speech but I have a fair memory of how the 'trots' work and I'm pretty distrustful of some of these 'new' members. Disliked Blair but I think he was right that the center-ground is the way to win UK elections and JC, if he sticks to his old-guns, hasn't really any new ideas and brings more than enough of a target for the right-wing press to slaughter him at the next GE. Still, I'll give him my support despite my misgivings.
