That is only a drop in the ocean and I don't have much hope of it being a success.

Margaret, a very rare bit of muddled thinking from you, unless i’m misreading things. I think proportional representation can often end up with “wishy-washy” government, sometimes with extreme minorities having the casting vote.
I don’t think it’s too late for a Brexit party. This debate is not going to go away for many years and, at the next general election, Brexit will still be a live topic.
If May gets her ‘deal’, we’ll be neither out nor in at the next election. Or maybe Bercow and his metroplitan mates can ensure there’s no ‘no deal’ on March 29th and extend Article 50 in the hope of having an election before having to make a decision.
Both ‘big’ parties will continue to equivocate on Brexit so voting for either will not resolve matters and deliver what the last referendum demanded.
But, if all the Leave voters backed the Brexit Party, even if just for one election, they could, as 50+% of the electorate, easily win the day (again!)
We told ‘em once, and I’m happy to tell ‘em again.
