The Liberal Democrats are still at it, engaging in a futile fight to reverse the ever strengthening tide of Brexit.

The former Lib Dem Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Ed Davey, has called for his party to reach out to the 17.4 million leave voters in order to understand their concerns, while trying to reverse the Brexit vote.

Mr Davey maintains that the Leave voters were lied to and said that when the truth is clearer they will change their minds and he hopes that there will then be a second referendum, which the Remain side will win by a 60 percent to 40 percent margin.

All I can say to that is ‘fat chance’.

As far as I can see the Lib Dems are fast becoming a single issue party of getting the UK to re-join the EU.

Even Paddy Ashdown has said that the party is “doing very little new thinking and producing very few new ideas.”

And the former Lib Dem leader recently asked in the Liberal Democrat Voice “But is our obsession with Brexit in danger of distracting us from what kind of country we want Britain to be, whether in the EU or out of it?”

Andrew Grice wrote in the Independent that Vince Cable’s message to his party is that they must not become ‘UKIP in reverse’.

But it is hard to see how any party that wants us to Remain in the EU can be anything but a single issue party.

And the reason I say that is, because every time they engage in political debate their argument will have to toe the EU line.

Every policy they put forward or argue for will have to dovetail in with current and planned EU legislation or else it will be shot down by their opponents for being incoherent.

And now that the president of the EU Commission has let the federalist cat out of the bag in his state of the union address, the Lib dems will also have to start advocating some pretty unpopular policies.

They will have to go back on Nick Clegg’s pre-referendum assertions and admit that an EU defence force is a reality and campaign for it as a good thing - even if no-one knows yet what it will look like in reality.

They will now have to fully support and campaign for the UK to relinquish all border controls to the EU and join Schengen.

The Lib Dems will have to become an open champion of the UK joining the Euro.

Then there’s the matter of UK banking subjugating itself before the EU, as well as an EU finance minister and employment minister. The list goes on.

In fact the Lib Dems must now trumpet the benefits of the UK totally giving up its independent nation status as any claim they make that they can somehow ‘reform’ the EU will be met with hoots of derision.

I can’t see any room for the Liberal Democrats to come up with any other policy than let’s just hand over the reins to the EU. Good luck with that one.

UKIP supporters recognised that the country needed to get out of the EU to be able to control its own destiny, that realisation spread to the majority of the population on June 23rd last year and continues to spread even now.

I just wonder if the average Lib Dem activist realises that all their party will be asking them to do in the final analysis, is to argue for EU law and control, while handing out Lib Dem branded EU literature.

I don’t think that will give them much of a future in UK politics. They won’t be fighting to stay in the EU, they’ll be fighting for relevance and survival.
