Fun fact: if you check the full list of every party designation entered in 2024, there is still a "Liberal Party" running independently of the Liberal Democrats, that got a few thousand votes. I think they were the anti-merger Liberals who stayed apart in 1988 and never gave up, unlike D.Owen.

Issues of political geneology: the current "SDP" has no link to the old one since the old one was officially defuncted c.1990 and Owen endorsed the Tories. The current Liberal Party might have a reasonable claim to be continuous with the grand old Liberal Party that declined 100 years ago.
