Lib Dems are the key to beating Brexit

MRS May needs to resign right now, and call it a day. She has nowhere to go.

The Prime Minster has reduced our country to a laughing stock and Jeremy Corbyn is no better.

We must withdraw Article 50 or at least extend it until the end of this year to allow for a general election and people’s vote to happen on the same day.

Whoever then forms the next government will have an up-to-date mandate as to what ought to then happen.

Either we remain within the EU or we leave.

At least we, the public, will have voted upon the choice of being full members or leaving without any realistic deal.

No matter what any leaver might still claim, the former referendum gave no idea as to what would be involved by leaving.

Mrs May has bought this country down on to to its knees. We are losing businesses, wealthy individuals, firms and a lot more.

We were the third-largest member through population. We had been the second-strongest economy.

We lost our so called British Empire a very long time ago and the Commonwealth was not up to much.

Britain prospered as full member of the EU. We should be leaders, not leavers – I have been saying “fix it, not Brexit”.

As to all those MPs now suggesting a new middle-ground political party in favour of the EU – why bother? You have the Liberal Democrats, through the Liberal Party and earlier the Whigs. They have been around since the 1600s.

They were the opposition to the Tories and Conservatives. Labour only came into being formed properly around the turn of the 1900s and stole most of the Liberal policies.

I say to Conservative and Labour Party remainers, jump ship and become Liberal Democrats until the next general election. Indeed, if you all did, you would create the largest political party in our British Parliament.

Goodbye Conservatives and hello a much-reduced Labour Party.

As for the Greens, they should

merge with the Lib Dems and keep up the fight to protect our environment, here, in the EU and around the world, working, with all the other Liberal parties in other countries.
