New anti-Brexit ‘Renew Party’ to be launched in Britain backed by French pro-EU politicians

A NEW anti-Brexit party is to be launched in Britain and backed by French pro-EU politicians

It follows a secret meeting in London between British campaigners and MPs from Emmanuel Macron’s ‘En Marche!’ party – with more than 200 potential candidates already identified.

It was held at the weekend in London, where the names of more than 200 potential parliamentary candidates were discussed, along with a leader.

They want the new Renew Party to be a similar movement to the French leader's, embracing people from ordinary life, rather than conventional politicians.

On its website it reads: “Political parties have failed us. They cannot realise this dream.

“We need a new generation of people from outside politics to stand for election, lead our country and renew the British dream.”

Their openly-stated aim is to reverse the result of the EU referendum, and stop Brexit from taking place.

The party say: “We want to stop Brexit and believe a second referendum on the final deal negotiated with the EU is overwhelmingly in the interests of both Leave and Remain supporters.

“The British people must be allowed a vote on the reality of Brexit and come to an informed decision.

“We will put pressure on all politicians to offer a second referendum by standing parliamentary candidates in every constituency in the UK.”

They are using Mr Macron’s meteoric rise to power as their template, after the ()-year-old created his own party from scratch less than two years ago.

He then went on to win the Presidential election and “En Marche!” – which means “onward” or “on the move” – cleaned up in the legislative elections, winning a majority over all of the established parties.

Sandra Khadouri, of Renew, told France Info radio that exactly the same thing can happen in Britain, as both the Conservative and Labour parties are in turmoil – with Brexit at the heart of it.
