I still have no idea why most of them chose not to do that in the first place.

Before the local election results, the LibDems still looked like a non-starter. Now they're back in the game and CUK managed to monumentally fuck up their launch more than anyone thought possible.

From Heidi Allen’s interview on the BBC just now, a CHUK merger into the Lib Dems seems on the cards. Which is lucky given how useless she came across - saying the European elections came sooner than she was expecting ffs.

Yeah, I know all that, but it means they had to try starting a new party from scratch whilst only agreeing on one thing, and bemoaning the lack of a relatively centrist, sensible pro-EU party who were typically willing to talk about reaching consensus. They were ou lucky wishing that the LibDems existed, whilst ignoring the existence of the LibDems

Poorly phrased.

I assume she meant, they underestimated the amount of work needed to prepare for the European election. And 5 months are really short for a new party without an infrastructure. And arguably they might have assumed that May's deal would pass the house of commons at some point.

Remember those MPs are used to have a huge party apparatus (Labour and Tories) backing them up.

Bud yeah, poorly phrased, and a not very convincing start for their new party. Add to that the electorate has apparently forgiven the LibDems earlier transgressions, so that the LibDem label is no longer seen as a liability.

The anti-EU vote is now strongest in the Midlands, Yorkshire, and the North East.
