 Cllr Geoff Abell talking to Lib Dem leader, Sir Vince Cable

Vince Cable reports today –

“When I became your leader just over 90 days ago, one of the goals I set was for us to overtake the Conservatives in membership.

“Today we may have just done exactly that.

“The Conservatives are notoriously secretive about their membership, but it’s been reported that it’s dropped to “around 100,000”.

“That means we have either already surpassed the Conservatives’ membership, or we are about to.  The enormity of this cannot be underestimated.

“Theresa May’s Tories are in turmoil.  And their former membersmany of whom are pro Europeans like us need a new home.

“Let’s make the Liberal Democrats the second largest British political party.  And then from there anything is possible…”
