Lib Dem EU candidate selections "well under way" as the Tories scramble


The Liberal Democrats' candidate selection in England, Scotland and Wales is well under way for EU elections on 23rd May as the Tories scramble to put together a last minute list of candidates.

Party members are voting across the country as the party plans to use the election as an opportunity to send a message to both the Conservatives and Labour that it is time for a People’s Vote. 

Liberal Democrat Brexit Spokesperson Tom Brake MP said:
 
"The Tories have made an absolute dog’s dinner of Brexit and instead of working to give people the final say, Corbyn seems to have joined the Tories at the table. 
 
“We have been fighting tooth and nail not just to keep the UK in the EU, but for the UK to be a leader in the EU. Just imagine what we could achieve if Brexit was stopped, not least using the billions earmarked for Brexit to instead regenerate the towns, cities and communities in the greatest need.
 
“Our candidates will soon be selected and we are raring to go to the polls with a clear offer; every Liberal Democrat elected is another voice fighting for our country’s place in the European Union.”
