The core values of Renew - a new hope for centre politics in the UK ?

In my last post I briefly discussed how I felt dis-enfranchised following the increasingly hard Brexit stance of the Conservatives and the lack of cogent response from the opposition.

The Renew party seeks, it seems to me, to redress that balance and on further reading here are their currently stated core goals :

A new opportunity program - creating a true skills and 'for all' education driven economy

Aggressive house building on brown field sites and using all empty homes

Enhancement to minimum wage laws and a nationwide universal living wage

An intelligent NHS - reliant on technology and innovation

Stop Brexit and hold a second referendum

Promote a Green Revolution

Read yourself (https://renewbritain.org/britain-today/) and see if you think they're worth a punt ? It strikes me that 'centrist' policies can sometimes seem a little wishy-washy almost borrowed from the most liberal elements of both the Tories and Labour - but thinking about it, no one else is pushing the centre agenda and most people exist in the middle not the extremes of the political spectrum.

Certainly cannot hurt to entertain a sea change in politics - the way the world is going at the moment it feels like time for a change to me.
