This approach to government is an unsuccessful one and it also lacks democratic legitimacy. People did not vote for a Corbyn-May coalition government – they voted for a Conservative government, which became a confidence and supply with the DUP.
This is a deeply unsatisfactory approach. It’s not in the interests of the country, it fails to deliver on the referendum result and history doesn’t bode well for it.
I can't see how the biggest two parties working together is less democratically legitimate than the biggest + one small one. It doesn't make any sense. But then what should I expect from mogg...
Statement from JRM:
His disappointment should bring all of us joy.
Corbyn said he's "very happy" to meet May.
