Graham Watson, working for you.
The Liberal Democrats want to get a fair deal from Europe for the West Country and Gibraltar. Led by Graham Watson MEP the Liberal Democrats are Europe's 'critical friend'. Liberal Democrats are best placed to tackle cross-border issues like climate change and crime.
