I am totally dishonest!
I know she was talking about coalition but didn't she only explicitly rule out a coalition with corbyn, rather than with labour or anyone else? she's just playing the same games as everyone else!The reactions from all the people you'd think would have a say in a GNU (aside from the SNP who've been great) has been terrible, Labour included. I would have thought you'd get the votes first then suggest a leader from them, rather than the other way round, but I'm not a politician. Equally I would have thought you'd be open to everything at first, then rule things out, rather than how the lib dems and labour are acting. Too soon this becomes the lib dems and labour fighting among themselves and brexit has happened!

No, she ruled out a coalition with Tories too: https://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/jo-swinson-rejects-tory-coalition-idea-and-rules-out-scots-indyref2-support-1-4969501
And yes, I agree she's playing the same games, which is why I'm pushing back on this idea that Corbyn isn't. Anyone who puts barriers in the way of a GNU (whether it's Swinson saying no Corbyns or Corbyn saying ONLY Corbyns) are actively fucking with my ability to pay the mortgage and I've no time for any of them. I'm just saying give the opprobrium where it's due - both at Swinson and Corbyn's door, not just at Swinsons. And less at Swinsons since she's prepared to compromise on who leads; Corbyn isn't.

I have no reason to think you're dishonest so I'll assume you're mistaken. She was talking about whether she'd go into coalition with Corbyn, which she's ruled out. GNU is a different beast.
