The changing fortunes of the Liberals, from the landslide victory of 1906, through the divisions and decline of the interwar years, to the revivals under the leadership of Paddy Ashdown since the Orpington by-election, are the subject of this history. It also examines both the party's electoral fortunes and the personalities, policies and prospects of the contemporary party in the changed political landscape of the late 1990s.
