They need to get more members outside of major cities. What keeps the Lib Dems going are all the 5-20 person branches they have in small towns across England & Wales, it means they can always find candidates for council & parish council by elections. The Greens would probably do better than the Lib Dems in a lot of countryside places (running on eg a protect the green belt platform) but they don’t have the people.
Having said that, I wouldn’t be shocked if in the next GE they get more votes in England than the Lib Dems do, though the fact that they don’t run in Scotland will likely mean the Lib Dems get more votes overall.
