3. This can only be refuted with hard evidence

And hard evidence is something that is sorely lacking for this proposal.

There is another issue for any new pro-EU party, which is one currently facing the Liberal Democrats. The issue is the need for a broad platform rather than just harping away about one single issue (it may be an issue that impacts everything else, but all the same, bringing up the EU in a debate about healthcare for example is not a wholly good look).

What would a new party's philosophy actually be? How would they make Britain a better place to live? What is their vision for Britain?

This is the thing that many "centrists" (by 'eck that term gets on my wick) need to grasp.
