Following the momentous decision for Britain to leave the EU, British politics is in flux.

A new Prime Minister is now in place but the nature of her approach to leaving the EU is not yet known, Labour is now engaged in a leadership election, and the smaller parties are preparing their own responses to the referendum result.

The months ahead will shape the future of our country and our future relationship with Europe.

It is vital at this moment of political change that the voices of all of you who voted Remain are heard and not lost. As well as staying involved with Stronger In’s future, you may also wish to consider shaping the parties’ own response to the referendum result.

Below are some possible ways you can get involved.

<h3>Labour</h3>
<ul>
<li>From Monday, July 18th to 5pm on Wednesday, July 20th, you can sign up to become a registered supporter of the Labour Party for £25 and participate in their leadership election</li>
<li>You can write to your MP and encourage them to support a leadership candidate that wants Britain to have a close relationship with Europe.</li>
<li>You can become a member of the Labour Party to shape their internal debate on Europe (although you won’t have a vote in the leadership contest unless you register as above).</li>
</ul>

<h3>Conservative</h3>
<ul>
<li>You can write to your MP and encourage them to ask Theresa May and her new government to support the closest possible relationship with Europe. </li>
<li>You can write to the new Cabinet outlining your views on the future of the UK’s relationship with the EU in their policy area. </li>
<li>You can become a member of the Conservative Party to shape their internal debate on Europe. </li>
</ul>

<h3>Other parties</h3>
<ul>
<li>People living in around 90 constituencies are represented by MPs from parties other than Labour and Conservative. </li>
<li>You can become a member of these parties to shape their internal debates on Europe. </li>
<li>Whatever your views, this is a pivotal and historic moment for our country. The views of those who voted for Britain to remain stronger in Europe should be heard. Please do get involved in shaping our country’s future.</li>
</ul>

Thank you,
