Liberal Democrats outlined a four-stage roadmap in their manifesto, prioritizing fixing the UK's relationship with the EU before re-joining. They believe the UK needs to be 'back in the heart of Europe,' stating it will take time.
The party's manifesto emphasizes steps such as seeking partnerships with EU agencies like Erasmus Plus and re-joining the single market before eventually aiming for EU membership as a longer-term goal.
Lib Dem leader acknowledged the challenges of re-joining the EU, criticizing the Brexit deal as a 'disaster' that 'undermined growth.' He highlighted that the UK is currently a 'rule-taker' with no substantial say.
In contrast to previous elections, the Liberal Democrats adopted a more gradual approach, moving away from the 'stop Brexit' stance in 2019. Both Labour and Conservatives have notably avoided Brexit discussions during the campaign.
