Telegraph is reporting that Tim Farron wants to change the party's name to "the Liberals".

Why not change it to "the Liberal Party", like old?

Because the old Liberal Party still exists.

Does it really - aren't the Liberal Democrats considered the de jure successor to the old Liberal Party, even if there's a tiny splinter group calling itself by the same name?

The Liberal Democrats are a merger between the SDP and the Liberal Party. Both the SDP and the Liberal Party still exist 'in continuity.'
