  • That depends 100% on Labour.

    All other parties have acted progressively in various parts of the country, including standing down candidates to support others and campaigning for each other.

    Labour is an exception. They've actually been incredibly tribal and have expelled people who have been members of the Labour party for decades for having acted progressively.

    In some areas Labour have even expelled their candidates.

    It's pretty incredible, but the biggest blocker to a coalition (should the Tories fail to have a majority with them plus DUP) is Labour.

  • Of course it is. They are the only other genuine national party, if they started standing candidates down in certain constituencies then the Tories and their many, many allies in the media would have a field day. They have to be seen to be a national party, the LibDems and the Greens don't.

  • National in the United Kingdom appears to have been reduced to England and Wales.

    But then again... that's the Conservative definition of a national party too.

    It's bloody sad that Labour have fallen so far.
