flag Liberal Democrats' membership drops despite electoral gains, while Greens and Reform UK grow.

flag Despite achieving their best electoral performance in years under leader Ed Davey, the Liberal Democrats have seen paid membership drop from 118,000 in 2020 to about 60,000 by late 2024, though total membership—including free registered supporters—was reported at 83,174. flag The decline persists even as the party leads in grassroots engagement, with 19% of members reporting direct voter contact, more than any other major party. flag Meanwhile, the Green Party has surged to 90,000 members, Labour’s membership fell 37% to 333,000, and Reform UK claims nearly 260,000 members, reflecting broader shifts toward populist and far-left alternatives amid declining trust in traditional centrist parties.
