Of the 36 Liberal MPs elected without the coupon, nine supported the coalition. The others held a meeting and declared themselves to be the Liberal Parliamentary Party. During the course of the Parliament, the split spread through highest and lowest levels of the party organisation. At a meeting of the National Liberal Federation in May 1920, coalition ministers were shouted down, and the division became even more obvious. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Reunion">Reunion</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=National_Liberal_Party_(UK,_1922)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Reunion"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Eventually, despairing of capturing the official Liberal Party, tainted with <a href="/wiki/Apostasy" title="Apostasy">apostasy</a> and awkward hypocrisy but adamant on the need to compromise to solve major social, micro- and macro-economic problems, the Prime Minister decided to set up his own party.
