Formerly members of the
Liberal Party, Jeffrey Lam, Andrew Leung and
Sophie Leung resigned on 8 October 2008, saying they had not been able to communicate with the party, and were dissatisfied with its handling of the aftermath of its poor showing in the
2008 LegCo election. The three of them constituted half of the Liberal Party's representation in LegCo. Another Liberal Party
Lau Wong-fat joined the group as a consultant soon after the group was set up, and therefore the group is sometimes referred to as the
4L. In October 2012, the group formed the
Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong with other LegCo members from the pro-business sectors. ==Electoral performance==
