The Liberal Democrat Plan for Britain in Europe.

Liberal Democrats believe that the British people should have their say on the final Brexit deal in a referendum. Voting for a departure is not the same as voting for a destination. British people have a right to have their say on whether the deal they are offered is the right one for them, their families, their communities and our country.

The Liberal Democrats remain a proudly pro-European party. Following the referendum, we are setting out clear answers to some of the big questions and what we think should happen next.

Members of Bournemouth Liberal Democrats joined hundreds of other Lib Dems in London on Saturday 3rd September.

Liberal Democrats in Bournemouth's Kinson North ward celebrated a steady improvement in their position last week. Whilst Labour capitalised on a collapse in the UKIP vote, they narrowly missed out on defeating the Conservatives. Liberal Democrats, however, overtook the Green Party in the ward with some areas polling as high as 19% on the day.
Candidate Stephen Ward was encouraged by his first experience of standing for election and is looking forward to running again when this seat is fought again in 2019.
