Does Liberal mean only listening to what you want to hear then? It's not about agreeing on everything, it's about respecting what the majority have decided and Farron clearly doesn't so he's going to do his best to undermine that decision. He's welcome to carry on preaching the Lib Dem nonsense which has seen them virtually wiped out but he can't claim to be a Liberal if he doesn't respect the public's right to have a different view and the perfectly clear result of the referendum. In fact, if the vote had gone the other way and Farage had employed the same tactics Farron would have accused him of being a right wing extremist trying to undermine democracy...
Farron isn't a Liberal, he's an opportunist hypocrite.
