LONDON, Feb 19 (Reuters) - A new British party inspired by French President Emmanuel Macron's movement launched a campaign on Monday to thwart Brexit by convincing lawmakers to block any EU withdrawal deal Prime Minister Theresa May can strike.

The Renew party, founded last year after Macron's En Marche! movement propelled him to power, said it would target pro-Brexit lawmakers in constituencies with high levels of support for EU membership.

"We intend to be tough on Brexit and tough on the causes of Brexit," said James Torrance, the party's head of strategy. "We'll pressure MPs.

Among those who have called for Brexit to be halted are former Prime Minister Tony Blair, Goldman Sachs Group Inc Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein and George Soros, who made a fortune by betting against the British pound in 1992.

"We have had informal discussions with En Marche," said Torrance, a former accountant who helped found Renew.

The People Vs the elite
Good Vs bad
Democracy Vs anti democracy.

It's as simple as that.

I'm up for a civil war against the supporters of the EU menace.

Just to show the dedication to a cause is what it is, I predict hardly any take up for membership to this 'party'.

And any mention of it to be made by the same people who ALWAYS make these sort of arguments which haven't actually happened yet.

Just like this thread.

Just like Harry Enfield.

Very droll donny - how many votes will they get at the next General Election? More than 3.81m?

Do try to remember that UKIP's very raison d'etre has been achieved, it matters not now if they are never seen again.

Another foreign leader poking his nose in, went well for Obama as I remember.

It was "modelled on Macron".

He had nothing to do with it.

Not all that many, I'd have thought.

Is it the 'cheddar man' influence?  Or do they want to colonise us, in punishment for slavery. Even though we did our very best to end it.

I'm more fed up with our Utility companies and such firms as ATOS being French and pillaging this country, than a miniscule political ideal.

Do you think these French companies will have to give up their ownership of our massive companies at brexit?

Remember: democracy means all independent thinking stopped some time in 2016. And no evidence that has since come available will be allowed to change previously held opinions. If you voted to leave, you may never again be allowed to think we should remain.

Or vice-versa. Not that it would be very likely!

Good point though.

The person Macron most reminds me of is Teflon Tony. To come from nothing to president in just a few years suggests to me he is an accomplished hot air merchant. Time will tell.
