Lib Dem MPs seek to fill gap left by Labour and Tories left by both parties.

Party now faces challenge around defining its identity in opposition.

Can it take over from the Conservatives as the party of business, and more to the point: does it want to? Many MPs told PoliticsHome they were happy’ to have a Labour government.

Senior Lib Dem MPs think Labour is more likely to listen to them than Tories .

Foreign affairs and defence stakeholders see Lib Dems as 'defenders of democracy' Alistair Carmichael said the party had to “get away from this idea that in one fell swoop we will be in government” and instead focus on issues which were being neglected by the other parties.

The Lib Dems surprised even themselves with their success this year in helping to get Tories out.

Now, their challenge is to find a new identity and make their own luck.

Party figures admit their chances of becoming the main "constructive opposition" seem to hinge on the direction the Conservative Party takes in the coming years .
