Are you still #undecided?
Are you thinking of voting #LibDem? Think very hard: your vote may get you a very bad #Brexit.

You want to #Remain & that's why you're voting #LibDem?
But the #LibDems can't #RevokeArticle50 unless they win the election. In 2017 they won 12 seats. They need 326 MPs to win. How many do they need to claim a mandate to #Revoke?

Maybe the #LibDems can form a minority government?
Could a minority government #RevokeArticle50? Even for that the #LibDems would need at least 200 seats. And what other parties would they then need for success? The #SNP might vote to #RevokeArticle50, but would they be enough?

But the #LibDems could still stop #Brexit by holding the balance of power?
In a hung parliament, the #LibDems with the #SNP, #PlaidCymru, #Greens & other #Remain parties would have some power to influence government policy. But that's not enough to #Remain.

But if the #LibDems do win the balance of power...?
Even then they will need a #Labour government to have any chance to #Remain. A #Tory government will take #Remain off the table, no matter how many #LibDem MPs there are. So we'd be stuck for years with a deadlocked parliament.

Perhaps that's better than #Brexit?
We've seen #BorisJohnson's alarming & sinister attempts to close democracy down & force us into a #NoDealBrexit. He'd be scheming to get the #ERG's #WTO #Brexit by refusing to extend the transition. And now without #JohnBercow to protect us.

So voting #LibDem is like Russian roulette?
Yes. The result is out of your hands, & could easily be fatal. It could easily deliver a #Tory government which will push through a very #badBrexit. For us all to be safe, we must stop any possibility of another #Tory government.

And the only certain way to stop the #Tories is to get a #Labour government?
Yes. #Labour’s policy is to get a sensible #Brexit deal with the EU. #Labour will give you the choice: #Remain? Or a sensible #Brexit? They'll give you control, a way to get out of this mess.

You're still #undecided, but you just want to #Remain?
There is only one way to do that. You must vote to elect a #Labour Government that will give you a chance to vote for #Remain in a new referendum.

You're still #undecided, but you want to #Leave in a way that makes sense?
There is only one way to do that. You must vote to elect a #Labour Government that will negotiate a sensible #Brexit & give you a chance to vote for that in a new referendum.

You're still #undecided, but you want to 'Get #Brexit done'?
Whatever happens, #Brexit negotiations will go on for years. But do you want to lose our #NHS? Do you want to destroy jobs & help a few rich people get even richer? Just to speed up the first few weeks of negotiations?

What's the best thing we can do?
#Labour is the only party that is promising to negotiate a sensible #Brexit & to give us a new referendum, a chance to choose whether to take that deal or #Remain in the EU. That's why, whatever we think about #Brexit, we need #Labour to win.
