So the vote in the locals was a pretty equal split: 45% Tory&UKIP, 45% Labour&LibDem.
All that needs to happen is they get together and agree to only stand one candidate between them everywhere.
It's really tricky this. The lib dems have an easier choice to make over brexit- they can simply oppose and regain their pro EU base. But alot of labour voters voted to leave. This alliance, though it seems to make sense to gang up against the tories, could actually lose labour alot more votes to the tories as labour/ leave voters decide Corbyn is trying to reverse brexit. Many are very critical of Corbyn and his team's eqiuivocal stance, myself included, but he really has no other choice, or no better choice. Perhaps a more skillful spin / PR team would have helped, to make his slightly vague stance sound like a clear message.

Imagine if Corbyn sorted that, he'd go down in history. Can someone tell him?
