The Lib-Dems were part of Cameron’s coalition government if memory serves. Ironically the former leader of that party (Nick Clegg) now works for … Facebook.
And, you have deep divisions there. If you perceive one single enemy, all your efforts will be focused on that one. If you have three, your efforts are spread out.
This makes the divisions, rhetoric and social environment seem less severe, but the problems are just as big.
