A Progressive Alliance: Laying the Foundations

There's one constant thread running through the post-Brexit chaos: if ever there was a time to bring people together to help transform our corrupted and dysfunctional political system, through some kind of progressive alliance, this has to be it. The depths plumbed through the course of the Referendum campaign, the unleashing of narrow-minded, xenophobic instincts, the endless lies and contempt shown for 'experts' was all bad enough. But the campaign also revealed the startling divides that now put at risk any prospect of a stable, unified country - divides between London and the rest of the country, between the 'left behind', 'hanging in', and 'still works for me'; between those taking comfort looking in and those building dreams by looking out; between young and old.
