Brexit truce as pro-EU Lib Dems focus on long game

Summary

Nutrition label

72% Informative

Liberal Democrats toned down their zeal for the EU ahead of this year 's general election.

The party swelled its ranks to 72 MPs - its most ever - without drawing much attention to its original policy of rejoining the EU .

Party 's four -stage roadmap includes seeking to join EU programmes and eventually, the single market, which allows the free movement of goods, services and people.

Even the chairman of the Liberal Democrat European Group - which he describes as the fan group for the EU ’ - is managing his expectations.

As long as he’s in charge and the Lib Dems keep performing well in elections, the Europhile wing of the party will have to play the long game.
