I resigned my membership shortly before the referendum because I think the LibDem position was a betrayal of values of liberalism and democracy.

The final straw was my local LibDem leader, Ros Kayes, Mayor of Bridport, saying “Shameful to see the ignorance and racism in the UK population”. I have seen far too much disgusting, prejudicial, discriminatory abuse from LibDem members who have forgotten what the party stands for.

Farron’s response to the referendum result, not as direct as Ros Kayes’, implies that everyone who voted leave is ‘intolerant, closed-hearted, pessimistic and inward looking’.  His strategy is a disgusting, hate-filled attempt to subvert democracy.

If the LibDems have one talent above all others it is self-destruction. This time it may well be suicide.
