catpus   10 #51 Posted April 23, 2018 A new political party for the UK? https://renewbritain.org/  They are trying to place themselves in the Centre-Left of British politics & fancy themselves as a UK version of Macron's En Marche party.  Mission statement includes: We want to use a people-centred approach to drive the country, consulting real people in the decision making process to find real solutions" & "We need brilliant people from all ethnic, religious and social backgrounds to stand for parliament and support us in every part of the country. We have a positive vision to make Britain better and more equal than it has ever been before. We want this country to be open to Europe and the World, a place where anyone can become rich but nobody lives in poverty."  All well & good & they may make voters think for a while but I can't see them upsetting the mainstream or even the established fringe parties such as the Greens.  For G-ds sake, why can't people see that NEW parties takes votes away from Labour... They are cynically created by friends of the Tories. If the people fall for this then sadly they deserve all they will get. The lying, cheating, self serving, greedy,war mongering scum.  Here is where their loyalties lie... https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2018-03-06/foreign-office-lends-diplomat-to-pr-firm-working-for-saudi-crown-prince  ---------- Post added 23-04-2018 at 23:04 ----------  After Labour renames itself - The Neo-Communist Anti-Semite Party.  Such mindless idiots supporting the self seeking cretins that have driven our country to its knees...  Take a look at these videos and see just how the rest of the world see YOU.  and even your own Andre Neil is SICK of it.  What you are doing is Libelling the whole of the people who cote Labour... be very careful.

Done it all before. Didn't work.  1981 Social Democratic Party (SDP) born out of the Labour party, by 4 well known and well respected politicians, all experienced big-hitters. If they couldn't make it work, I don't think the Renew amateurs stand much of a chance.  As with the SDP, the only affect they'll have is to split the Labour vote and we'll get lumbered with the Tories again, and the most incompetant Tories in the hstory of the party, at that.

Jonny5 Â Â 10 #56 Posted September 7, 2018 All parties need funding from donors and so are immediately compromised as those donors are always self serving. Â New parties aren't the answer.

The Tories have drifted too far to the right and Labour to the left. These is a massive centre to fill, but it won’t be a new political party. I think the Lib Dem’s will be the rallying point. I predict an explosion of Lib Dem MPs at the next GE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
