The party holds just 18 seats in Britain’s 650-seat parliament but has cast itself as the only ‘Stop Brexit’ party, hoping to pick up votes from the 16 million who voted to remain in the EU in 2016 and win enough seats to form what would be an unprecedented Liberal Democrat government. The Liberal Democrats party conference on Sunday voted to formally adopt a policy to revoke the ‘Article 50’ notice filed in March 2017 which notified the EU of Britain’s intention to quit the bloc. This would effectively cancel Brexit.
As a party which has never won more than 62 seats at an election, the prospect of party leader Jo Swinson forming a government is a long way off, even though British politics is at its most unpredictable juncture in decades.
Never gonna happen We'll have a civil war first
Just like in America.. One party decides 'the people got it wrong' and instead of dealing with their wishes they subvert their will!
Too ambitious to form the Govt in next GE. Just by making sure who wants to remain in EU vote Liberal Democrats.
Traitors!
I love watching Jo Swinson verbally dismantle Boris every time she speaks in Parliament. It's better than anything on Netflix.
What about the British peoples majority vote to exit? Doesn't Parliament care about what thier constituents want? Are they not supposed to act based on the will of the majority? Very confusing to me.
This splits the remain vote quite nicely. I don't think she has any intention of seeing it through but it could put her in contention for opposition sending Corbyn into third place. It makes a remain coalition a lot more unlikely. All in all we Brexiteers should rejoice. ICBW.
MoreAndAgain Excellent!
The British Parliament is taking on the appearance of the US Congress... Parliament has never been the same since Edward the 1st of such name
sorry dear... doesn't work like that... the british people voted leave and the MP's have been dragging their feet to get a plan ready to send to the EU
Nope. Not the right face. FailBook DemDebate
Took them long enough
Formally tell the voters ‘you’re too stupid for democracy’ and decide to work against. Roll on the dissolution of Great Britain, we’d have more luck with states.
well not democratic then 17 plus million /and how many libe-dems [ black wheelie bin party ] !!?
vip_cyp Good !!
Formally adopt blatant homophobe whilst claiming to be” liberal”
The end of British democracy....go ahead.
That’s the peoplesvote_uk finished then.
Latest polls give them 16% against the Conservatives 37% so very little chance of that happening
theyve got to find fringe voters where they can, nobody with normal views would vote for them
The vote has been to leave with a majority in case you forgot!! You and your mind have denied the British people their justice and by disrespecting us in this and other matters you will reap what you have sown.
UK really just needs to update their ancient departments
Act in haste - repent at leisure...or something like that libdems
which does not seem very 'democrat', considering the results of the referendum.
Translation: Fuck the people and what they voted for!
About time someone did.
Britain's Liberal Democrats formally adopt 'bring an end to democracy in Britain' policy, more like.
Liberal Undemocrats.
Good luck with that in the General Election.
lol
Remain!
ThePeoplesVote 🙉🙈🙊
well lib-dems like a flee any host as long as plenty to suck on !?
You will keep having referendums until you vote the way you are required to.
She and the LibDems couldn’t stop a bus at a bus stop. They don’t even have the courage to fight an election 😂 brexit eu uk
Would be something if all this Brexit thingy went away as if it had never existed,,, things would go back to itneverhappend?
'So the 'Democrats' want to stop the largest democratic vote in the UK's history. I suggest they change their name.
Does it involve a coalition with Labour that make Corbyn PM? If not, fuck off.
Translation: FUCK THE PEOPLE AND WHAT THEY VOTE FOR!!
Unlike labour, they actually HAVE a Brexit policy.
