Although the party members voted in favour of dual membership at the national convention. It seems that the CEC headed by "The Many" slate has decided to disregard this and ban dual membership with "ineligible organisations".
You can find the list of proposed banned parties here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1buHZW7PDX9vcJwgxdwQkSS_tbNELGr1dgCx3WFLuy4o/edit?tab=t.0
The relevant excerpt:
- Ineligible Organisations - proposal Membership of the following organisations are deemed not to be aligned to our Party’s values and proposed as ineligible for the purposes of Your Party membership rules (this is not an exhaustive list):
- Socialist Workers Party
- Alliance for Workers’ Liberty
- Socialist Party
- Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition
- Communist Party of Great Britain (Provisional Central Committee)
- Scottish Socialist Party

- Revolutionary Communist Party
These organisations maintain independent national political structures, membership organisations and internal discipline.
Their internal organisational models and strategic objectives are distinct from and incompatible with the values and constitutional framework of Your Party.
These organisations stand candidates in elections.

The vote was very clearly for duel membership only with CEC approved parties .
While other options were prevented from being available. So questioning it acceptable,
The statement that this move is against the vote. Is openly false.
Also as far as I know the majority of the parties listed. Also ban duel membership. Feel free to list any that do not.

I checked:
and they dont seem to explicitly disallow dual membership. The vote was to allow dual membership with those aligning with the parties values according to the CEC. You are right that the decision does not break these terms. Unfortunately I think it does go against the spirit of the vote but that is entirely subjective.
I just think it is strange to push away supporters who largely agree with the party and want to help. Especially ones that explicitly support the mission.
Just seems a shame :(
