Voters in Burgess Hill should vote for the Liberal Democrats to change the direction of the country and ensure Britain has a decent opposition, the party’s local spokesperson has said today.

The Prime Minister today has called a snap General Election to be held on the 8th June.

Burgess Hill Liberal Democrat Chairperson Robert Eggleston commented:

“This election is a huge opportunity for voters in Burgess Hill to change the direction of our country and ensure Britain has a decent opposition.

People in Burgess Hill may have voted to leave the EU, but many did not vote for the extreme form of Brexit that Theresa May has imposed on us after being backed by Labour.  For all those who want to protect our local economy by staying in the Single Market and ensure the people have the final say over what comes next, this is your chance.

The Liberal Democrats are the real opposition to the Conservative Brexit Government and the only party fighting for a Britain that is open, tolerant and united.”
