A Euro-Election Vote for the Lib Dems is a Vote for the Environment

The European Election on the 22nd of May is to elect the MEPs who will provide influence over EU policy for the next five years.

Our pro EU stance and our campaign for EU reform, give Lib Dem MEPs real credibility in the Parliament. It means a vote for them is a vote for action. 2) Decision Makers: The weather doesn't stop at country borders.
