That's crazy talk.
If you took the few Lib Dem seats out there, and those that they could take from the Tories... and gave them to the Tories (because honestly, none of those seats are going Labour), then regardless of Labour performance Tories get in.
The only hope is a tactical one, a progressive one. That the Tories are challenged in every seat by the party most likely to win that seat.
The right have united, UKIP have given their weight to the Tories. DUP will always be Tories under another banner.
The social liberal left don't have long to unite fully.
Step one: Get power
Step two: Argue about the division of power
The Tories always did that right... do you recall how incredibly quickly they unified after the referendum to just keep power and be united?
The social liberal left has always fucked this up. We are fractured, and need to realise that as a single force we are more numerous than the right. We tend to argue the minutiae of how to divide power before we even possess it.
Talk of coalition can wait... get power first.
