Liberal Democrat MEP candidate visits Hove ahead of the European Elections – #bollockstobrexit .
AS the Liberal Democrats nationally continue to rise in all opinion polls, party activists are claiming they could emerge from Thursday’s European elections in second place to Nigel Farage’s new Brexit Party.
Local activists in Brighton & Hove were joined on Saturday (May 18) by South East MEP candidate Nick Perry for a day of campaigning ahead of the elections on Thursday May 23, 2019.
Activists reported receiving a warm and positive response both on the doorstep and at the local St Ann’s Well Gardens Spring festival.
Following the visit, local activist Elizabeth Craig said: “These are turbulent political times, and the Lib Dems are strongly positioned as the strongest Remain party in the South East. Their #bollockstobrexit slogan has grabbed the headlines, but the Lib Dems are also campaigning on the basis of a strong record on climate change and wildlife protection at European level. The Lib Dems are demanding a People’s Vote on any Brexit deal, and have been fighting Brexit every step of the way. Could this election provide the shake-up of British politics that many people in Brighton, Hove and Portslade think we need? We certainly hope so and are working hard to make it happen.”
