I the Lib Dems all policy is voted on by the members at conferences. Whatever the members vote for becomes party policy. I recently voted against a couple of policy motions at conference and was on the losing side.

But we believe that political parties should state clearly what it's policies are - even if they are at variance with current public opinion.

If all parties created policies based solely on public opinion then they would all share a common manifesto.

So Brexiteers within the party are encouraged to voice their views and, at the end of the day, the party members will decide.

Seems like a very fair way to go about your business?

As a result of brexit many have left the party while still more new recruits have joined.
To be fair to your lot 59, they've always advocated a 2nd referendum and staying in the EU, this policy got them 2 million votes at the 2017 GE, Labour and Tories promised to respect the result of the referendum and got 24 million votes. I leave you to ponder that result and the wisdom of now advocating overturning the referendum result.

What happens if Boris by some miracle gets us out of the EU ? You've staked everything on garnering the anti-Brexit vote, and you've had some success, but if that's been put to bed, what then, you'll be a bit like UKIP was after the referendum, a ship without a paddle.
