Momentum, the campaign group founded by Jeremy Corbyn supporters, is facing an internal split over its democratic structures. Take this quiz to find out which Momentum faction you belong to!

Which Momentum Faction Do You Actually Belong To?

Which middle-aged revolutionary do you feel an affinity to?

What sort of colour shirt do you like to wear?

You are Jon Lansman. You founded the organisation with an optimistic worldview to support Jeremy Corbyn's leadership of Labour and want that to continue. You fear a takeover of Momentum by other groups and don't understand why you're being called a Blairite. You enjoy calling meetings at short notice; hey, who needs meetings when there's online democracy?

The Momentum mainstream

You are Matt Wrack, leader of the Fire Brigades Union. One member one vote ain't your way forward. You're much more interested in delegates, meetings, and structures. There's a reason for this – it's always worked for the left in the past. You were enthused by the new politics and fear that the Corbyn project could slip into the old centrist ways. You will stand your ground.

The Momentum rebels.

What's your favourite way to spend an evening debating democratic structures?

When do you tend to tell other people you're about to hold an important meeting?

Which middle-aged left-wing campaigner best represents the desires of your heart?

What colour shirt represents your political outlook?

Which of these is your favourite left-wing group?

Do you want Momentum to be a "horizontal, consensus-based organisation"?

How bad was Tony Blair?

Pick a Taylor Swift.

You helped found Momentum to carry on Jeremy Corbyn's leadership campaign and now want to maximise the number of people involved. But you're also concerned about the influence of some groups within the organisation. You're close to co-founder Jon Lansman but times are tough – you're confused as to why you're being called a Blairite, but you believe in the principles of online democracy. Because ultimately, everyone on the left is on the same side. Right?

the Momentum leadership

You are Matt Wrack. You've affiliated your trade union to Momentum and you want it to have a structure that's accountable to its local groups. This is not a laughing matter; you haven't waited this long for a proper left-wing Labour leader only to see the old Blairite tactics of centralisation brought back. What's wrong with discussion and proper meetings? You also have concerns over who controls Momentum's database of contact details. But ultimately, you just want everyone to pull together and campaign for a left-wing government. But in order to do that you need real democratic structures.
