Probably the most common question I've had so far in this campaign is 'what's the role of President?' It's an important question because it gets to the heart of what we need to do to be more successful in our ambition to build a fair, free and open society, as it says in our constitution.

One part of the role - being the voice of the grassroots in the room with the party leadership - is one all previous Presidents have taken seriously. But what else they do with the role has varied depending on the circumstances.

Our experience has taught us that the best campaigns are built on personal stories.

They give an emotional and personal connection beyond cold, hard facts.

So to help our campaign to stop Brexit succeed, we have a very specific request.

Can you tell us how Brexit is personally affecting you and your family?

I'm the son of immigrants, one parent from Germany, the other from Poland. My own family history is in miniature the troubled history of Europe in the previous two centuries, scarred by the horrors of extremism, despotism and war - and then my parents making a new home together in our country.

It's why for me our liberal democracy, despite all its many flaws, is so precious. We need to step up to protect against the extremists and populists.

Waiting for the outcome of the nomination count for Party President felt a wee bit like that scene from The Big Bang Theory where Sheldon explains about Schrodinger's Cat.

You know, where as long as the box is closed the cat is both dead and alive?

The relief when they cat was actually alive, and I was nominated, was huge!

Roy was one of the oldest members of High Peak Libdems when he was sadly killed in a road accident in September, close to his home in New Mills. He was 86 and had been a Liberal/Libdem member for most of his adult life. He had been a New Mills Town councillor and a High Peak Borough Councillor where he gained the respect of all his colleagues from all parties as a sensible and hard-working man.

Brexit will only take us further away

In the early 1930s Bonnie and Clyde pioneered a new way of making money in Texas: they robbed banks and murdered police. As we know from the cinema, they drove their ill-gotten gains in a rickety car over a state border across which the local police could not pursue them. Faced by this new motorised threat, the Congress in Washington DC created a police force which could cross frontiers. They called it the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or FBI.
