Alliance and the Lib Dems

What relationship do the Lib Dems have with the Alliance Party in Northern Ireland?

Nick Clegg has urged voters in NI to vote for Alliance candidates. And the Belfast Telegraph article says that they have "fraternal links" with the Alliance Party.

Besides members of the Alliance Party attending Lib Dem conferences, there doesn't appear to be much substance between the links. Why don't the Alliance Party become part of the Lib Dems and offer people in Northern Ireland a real choice to take part in non-sectarian UK wide politics?
