Lib Dems will fight to remain in the EU
Tim Farron MP, leader of the Liberal Democrats has made it clear that our Party will fight to keep Britain in the EU and he has pledged to halt Brexit.
Whilst we respected the result of the referendum, it was perfectly legitimate to put the question to the British people at a general election. Tim has said:
"I think it is right that in a general election we say to the British people that if you want to get out of the increasing economic mess that we find ourselves in, where we have lost control, [where] we are at the mercy of markets, people's jobs are going, people's livelihoods are being destroyed and we are not taking back control … And the fact that the key tenets of the leave campaign are now proved to be lies … it would prove legitimate for the Liberal Democrats to go into the next election and say we offer you a chance to reconsider,"

The Chinese Liberal Democrats message to our members, friends and supporters is to stay optimistic and united during this period of uncertainty. Since 23 June over 10,000 people have joined the Party. The Liberal Democrats are clearly a "safe space" for voters that want an inclusive, moderate and economically competent party.
We seek a peaceful, prosperous and progressive Europe, one that delivers fairness and justice to the people of Britain. The Liberal Democrats are the party with right values and beliefs to unite and lead the people of this country as we prepare to halt a messy divorce from Europe.
