Barbara Gibson leads strong Lib Dem team for Euro elections
Originally published by East of England Liberal Democrats
The Liberal Democrats are the first party to announce their list of candidates for the European elections in the East of England. The candidates were elected by Liberal Democrat members, who each had an equal vote in the selection. 
The list is led by Barbara Gibson from Hertfordshire (pictured), who said:
"Brexit is a failure. People want a way out of the mess created by the Government. This election is an opportunity to send a powerful message that the people demand a final say, and the opportunity to stay in the EU. As the largest pro-European party in England, the Liberal Democrats are the best positioned to make that happen.
"I am pleased to lead the list of Lib Dem candidates for the region, and hope to have the opportunity to make the EU deliver even more for the East of England."
The full list of candidates is:
- Barbara Gibson
- Lucy Nethsingha
- Fionna Tod
- Stephen Robinson
- Sandy Walkington
- Marie Goldman
- Jules Ewart
