Here's one to chew over.
Would a new Pro-EU Political Party stand a chance at the next General Election in 2020?
In theory, they already of 48% of the electorate on their side after the referendum. But would left and right remain voters be able to put their differences aside to fight on a common platform.
Would the fast changing political climate be able to support or foster such a party? |

Just be careful here...
48% of people voted to *stay* in the EU. Not that the EU is necessarily great, or that we should 're-join' if the chance occurred. I, personally a pro-EU, but it would depend really on what the rest of their policies are. Just saying 'pro EU' doesn't really tell me much. You'd end up with the same thing as UKIP... a party that campaigns for a single thing, then when they get it have no idea what to do with it.
I'm not entirely sure the UK's relationship with the EU would be repairable now in 2020 anyway. We'd have to do quite a bit to convince them that this brexit thing was all just a folly and we didn't mean any of it.

They would be in competition with them Lib dems who are already trying to cast themselves as the Remain party. |

Well they consistently have been, so I don't think there's any recasting. |

Recast or not i can't see it working for them. If the EU referendum was decided on a constituency by constituency basis, it would have been a runaway victory for Leave. |

There are other policies to consider. Even the dreaded UKIP did not take parliament by storm and that was with an even greater proportion. So the answer is a simple "No." |

Exactly. Neither UKIP (leave) or LibDems (remain) have gotten very far at all on that as a single issue. Then again LibDems haven't got very far even though they do have policies!
