WATCH: Why EU Nationals should vote Lib Dem in Local Elections

Vince made clear on Peston on Sunday (from 35 minutes in) that we are definitely going for this group of people.

.

There will be a series of tailored social media adverts in 21 European languages. The adverts are fronted by MEPs from those countries and they encourage EU citizens to register and vote Lib Dem in May.

Vince said:

The local elections represent a huge opportunity for EU migrants, who contribute so much to our economy and society, to make their voices heard. We are reaching out to them to vote Lib Dem and help us support their rights and ultimately secure an exit from Brexit. Their support could make a vital difference in close council seats.

Tom Brake added:

The Lib Dems are the only major national party that has campaigned for an exit from Brexit and the one that has led on rights for both EU migrants in the UK and Brits living in the EU in the wake of Brexit.

We want EU migrants to help us fight the hard Brexit pursued by the Conservatives - and backed by Labour - at the forthcoming council elections. There is still the opportunity of an exit from Brexit.
