The leader of the Liberal Democrats, Tim Farron, has announced that he will be fighting the next general election, which he claims “could be very soon”, on a pledge to stop Brexit. He stressed that the voters deserve another chance to rethink their decision now the EU debate has moved from the abstract to the visceral, threatening jobs and living standards.
According to the MP, he respects the result but that he also finds it perfectly legitimate to put the question to the British people at an election, because the country was out of control and the campaign had been fought on lies. He explained that “I think it is right that in a general election we say to the British people that if you want to get out of the increasing economic mess that we find ourselves in, where we have lost control, [where] we are at the mercy of markets, people’s jobs are going, people’s livelihoods are being destroyed and we are not taking back control … And the fact that the key tenets of the leave campaign are now proved to be lies … it would prove legitimate for the Liberal Democrats to go into the next election and say we offer you a chance to reconsider.”
Upon inquiry if he thought a reelection was undemocratic, he replied that “on that basis we would never have re-run the 1975 referendum”, when the UK voted to remain in what was then the European Economic Community.
