After a colossal defeat, the FDP is looking for new leadership, a new program and new policies to regain the trust of old voters and win over new ones. And a deep ideological divide between at least two fractions has become apparent. First, the social liberals, who call themselves "Liberals for Progress", published a public letter criticising the party's former leadership for focusing too much on the economy and silencing dissent. Now the other side, the economic and conservative liberals, has published a paper exploring the reasons for the defeat. They understand that participating in a traffic light (Ampel) coalition in which there could be neither real government nor real opposition was disastrous. They agree with the first trend that "social liberalism is at least as important as economic liberalism" and that the party will pay more attention to it in the future, but that "this does not mean that it will take common positions with the Greens and the SPD".
The likely future leader of the party is Christian Dürr, a moderate classical liberal who will be able to reconcile all factions.
