The growing success of Jo Swinson's anti-Brexit party has come at a cost as they struggle with the increased level of scrutiny from opponents.
The Liberal Democrats have seen a surge in their support due to their staunch opposition to Brexit.
However, such success has come at a cost, with their opponents now submitting them to some serious scrutiny for the first real time.The new Lib Dem Brexit policy is a gambleThe headline news from this year's Lib Dem conference was the party's decision to make an official policy of scrapping Brexit by revoking Article 50 if it wins a majority at the next general election., in a hardening of the party's pro-EU position.
For their part, Swinson and other Lib Dem MPs argue that winning a majority at the next election would give them the mandate to revoke Article 50. When asked about Umunna's bold claim, Ed Davey, the party's deputy leader, offered a tongue-in-cheek response of"He's not very ambitious." Sarah Wollaston MP, who joined the party last month, was sincere when she told Business Insider:"You should not limit your ambitions but certainly I think we should be aiming for more than 100 seats."
Since then, he has been joined by his former Labour colleagues Angela Smith and Luciana Berger, as well as ex-Conservative MPs Sarah Wollaston, Philip Lee, and Sam Gyimah,The defections have undoubtedly boosted the Lib Dems. They have given the party the sort of media coverage it could only have dreamt of a year or so ago and a level of credibility it has lacked since going into Coalition in 2010.
