I disagree with this statement. If anything, I think the Liberal party is the most fluid of the parties in adapting to fill the will of the people of the day. That does make them pompous but Trudeau won in 2015 after the Liberals almost died in 2011 based on tracking to the will of Canadians. And for his first 6 years I think he did a good job of that.
They just won this election by putting in a leader who appears to pivot and move to the right, or at least moved to a more pragmatic style. Which is what the majority of Canadians want.
There are a lot of missteps, but of all the parties, the Liberals are the ones most willing to shift their position to meet the moods of Canadians.
