Not exactly. I've discovered today that a new political party has been set up called Renew Britain which has been set up with the help of En Marche (Macron's party) they are a new British Pro-EU party.

The scary thing is they've got some good policies to be fair and it looks like they could park their tanks on Labour/SNP's lawns.
Some of their policies are really good, like house building and raising taxes, if they can get things done. Others are really airy-fairy, like saving the planet and ending extreme poverty (with mobile phones?). Major damage has already been done to the planet and will take 50+ years to even start to reverse.
I also agree with SCO that proportional representation will only lead to more fudged promises and compromises. At the moment I would gladly accept a benevolent dictator to get things sorted.
