The Liberal Democrats were unabashedly pro-remain. They did terribly.
If the reason why so many remain folks didn't vote lib-dem was out of a fear of splitting the vote or that they were deemed "unelectable" due to historic reasons, well then the problem here is clearly FPTP, which induces all sorts of nonsense "strategic" voting and yields inflated false majorities.
