Lord Oakeshott, the former LibDem Treasury spokesman, referred to the continually bad opinion polls, which have put the party across the UK on around 10% and in Scotland around 7%.
"We have lost over half our market share since the election," said Lord Oakeshott. "Any business that had done that would be looking very hard now at both its strategy and its management to see how we get some of that back because otherwise we are going to lose a large number of seats at the next election."
