Pact surely

The Tories have gone for a pact with the Devil.

It will be nice that you could fit the MP's from this 'pack' in a Fiat 125 after the election.

From the man who supports Jeremy Corbyn. A leader who won't defend his own country with a nuclear deterrent.

Both Corbyn and Farron have already ruled out any sort of coalition, but Stergeon's up for it. Mind you, that doesn't rule out a Lib/Lab style pact with other parties, as negotiated by Callaghan in 1977.

Sure the Tories will get an overall majority so talk of other parties forming coalitions will be meaningless. What will be interesting is any changes round the fringes of the other parties. How many seats will Labour loose. Will the Lib Dems gain more than 1 or 2. Will UKIP win any seats.Will the SNP loose any seats, and if so how many, will be particularly interesting.
If Nicola looses too many her credibility will be shot!
So while the overall winner is 'odds on' it will still be interesting.

Obviously, from the Greens perspective, its a good tactic. One seat, relatively safe, and they can target specific seats, where they could, with the labour and lib dem support, win more.

But when you look at where the Green's are strong (by their standards) it is in urban Labour seats. Which is why it's curious they want a pact with Labour, which is their main obstacle to progress in terms of seats won.
