Dear Mr Castle

Of and on I have been a member of the Liberal Democrats for 10 years or so and whilst I had somehow forayed into the desirability of Brexit so voted for Leave, today I am of the view that being part of the international community and rejoining the European Union is conducive to not just a better more cohesive United Kingdom, it champions the politics of Liberal Democrats. I had previously described myself as a Libertarian Democrat but now see that the correct forumulation of the middle ground of politics must come under the umbrella that our party stands for.

This morning I have received Dr Mark Pace's letter as President of the Liberal Democrats and in light of the demise of the Conservative Party in recent months, particularly in its belligerence in domestic and international issues, I am grateful that my past investigative journalism has not been held against me in accepting me as a member of the Party.

I have signed in as supporter too and will do my utmost to participate in local politics in Medway and accordingly look forward to any communications you may need to send me in regard to my membership of the Party and in progressing the Party towards the next general election in two years time or sooner if the new Prime Minister seeks a fresh mandate from the electorate.

Yours sincerely

Dr Shantanu Panigrahi
