Southend Liberal Democrats - Working For YouToday, the Liberal Democrats launch their campaign to elect MEPs for the East of England. Seven candidates, elected by Liberal Democrat members, will give a voice to people who believe in a forward-looking, tolerant society with strong health and environmental protection.
Lead candidate Barbara Gibson said:
"Our relationship with the EU is critical to the UK economy, and we need MEPs who are capable of representing the best interests of our country and building bridges.People are turning to the Liberal Democrats because they know we stand for British values of fairness, tolerance and equality of opportunity. They won't be taken in by the hateful rhetoric of the extremists."
Our team of candidates is made up of committed local leaders who are deeply rooted in our communities, backed by more than 10,000 Lib Dem members and more than 300 local councillors in the region. As such, we are the party with the best capability of winning seats and ensuring that the region's interests are well-represented for as long as we remain in the EU."
Announcing the national launch of the European election campaign Vince Cable said:
"The strength Liberal Democrats bring to this campaign is our determined army of volunteers standing against Brexit and working for their communities."
The Liberal Democrat candidates, contesting the seven seats allocated to the East of England are:
