Labour are going to be ousted from a lot of seats they hold, it's going to be a slaughter.
I think it's best to take what fight still exists to form opposition and focus it into the strongest one possible.
No single party can be that opposition. SNP and Labour have both in their own ways guaranteed that. Opposition will have to be an alliance in any case. The right are united (see UKIP standing aside everywhere to boost the Tory vote), and the centre and left are still having arguments about how best to form a numerically effective opposition.
I note that you haven't argued against the data, or against the Remain vote, or against the fact that LAB have declared Brexit a done deal, or against the strong support that LIB candidate does have... you've only argued for LAB, blind to the risk it poses. LAB are 3rd in the list of likely winners for Cambridge... behind CON, yet you would have people vote LAB and against their own EU preference too?

Specifically to Cambridge the Labour win was seen by many as a protest vote against the Lib Dems that Huppert bore the brunt of. It was LD before that. Historically it's flipped between them.
If Lib Dems have the safest chance to make sure the Tories don't gain ground, there's no reason to vote Labour.

So you think the best way to counter this is to oust Labour from seats that they hold, and back a party that formed an alliance with the Conservatives?
