Should the Pro European movement become as militant as the Brexiteers to make a impact on Labour policy in the same way as UKIP impacted Conservative Brexit policy 2015-17.

It would require a Liberal Democrat leader with far more gravitas and stature than Davey for sure. For example the Liberal Democrats could explicitly state a Lib Dem vote was a vote for a Pro European stance to put pressure on Labour over their passivity on the issue. This could quickly gain traction in a febrile General election atmosphere, here there is hope for Pro Europeans as opposed to dreary national decline.

There is definitely space for a ardently Pro EU Party that could galvanise support for renegotiation/ or even rejoin. Once after the coming recession it’s even further exposed as an idea built on sand blown away by economic reality of trade disruption and blocked services trade, through the Single Market for services and the Customs issues that have had knock on implications for British supply chains.

It’s the Liberal Democrats who could make more of an impact on the national stage to act as a pressure on Labour Party policy through taking the Labour Party down a peg or two thanks to the poll lead thanks to the collapse in the Conservative vote in recent months.
