Thoughts on GE 2017: Now is the time for radical liberalism

The outcome of the general election is one that few expected. The dust is still settling but here are some thoughts on what lessons the election result offers to liberalism.

General Election 2017: RA Statement

We look forward to campaigning alongside candidates up and down the country to fight for a more liberal, more equal Britain in the coming weeks. The scale of the challenge facing our party and the scale of the choice facing the electorate are monumental; we're ready to get to work and deliver as many Lib Dem MPs to parliament as possible, to fight for liberal values and against the insular, short-sighted Brexit vision endorsed by the Tories and waved through by Labour.

Radical Association Statement on Triggering of Article 50

Brexit will kill jobs, risk protections for the environment and working rights, tear away people's freedom to move, work, live and love across a whole continent, and put huge sectors of our economy and tax base at risk. We believed it was wrong last year, we believe it is wrong now, and we will not stop saying so.

The new Lib Dem plan for Britain in Europe is a great start

The Radical Association welcomes the announcement today of the new Lib Dem plan for Britain in Europe. We don't shy away from constructively criticising the party when it goes wrong but this is a case where the Liberal Democrats have got it absolutely right.
