So labour wants to form a temporary alternative government, but the lib dems have said they'll do anything to prevent no deal APART FROM working with Corbyn.My question is: how can they form a coalition with the Tories but not Labour?Which of Corbyns policies are they so against? Am I missing the key thing that makes him the anti-christ?
BFYP, the irony is that Theresa May did put party first, she wasn't interested in a cross party agreement. Corbyn would have supported a Brexit deal like a Norway style.
Surely the lib dems could swallow their pride for a few month until the general election, especially if they are confident they will take enough seats to be the majority in a coalition government?
Positive noises from everyone bar the LD leadership though. And some senior LD folks are telling them to be sensible. Maybe this is the way out. Although it still needs 12-15 Tories which may be the sticking point.
There are no depths which the anti democratic forces will not sink to get their own way and override the referendum result. The longer this goes on, the more I suspect there will be no Brexit at all as the powers of darkness will use every trick in the book to keep their snouts in the EU trough at the expense of normal folk.There is no point in voting in any election from now on, as it seems that MPs are happy to ignore the wishes of their constituents and do their own thing.

I don't recall you ever moaning about that being undemocratic.PS MPs are elected to do their own thing. That's how British democracy has worked since the Middle Ages.
Anti-democratic forces......or, elected MPs as the rest of us call them.

That's how British democracy has worked since the Middle Ages.I voted for mine because he supported Brexit. What's the point of voting for someone who is going to do the opposite of what you elected them to do? The tories should give the elbow to any MPs trying to block Brexit.
So it's ok for them to go against the majority view to suit their own ends?
Perhaps you could follow Glynn the country would be a far happier place without people like you
Huge tactical mistake by Swinton here that I am sure wont be forgotten in any election campaign (as I mentioned on another thread). SNP, Plaid and Dominic Grieve have all said they want to talk to Labour about the plan - but Swinton wont.Have a guess which far-left, marxist supporter did say this about Corbyn's offer tho (not much of a challenge as it tells you in the link)“I certainly take the view that a short-term Jeremy Corbyn government is less damaging than the generational damage that would be caused by a no-deal Brexit.”https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/guto-bebb-corbyn-pm-government-block-no-deal-brexit-boris-a9061261.html

Today she said she'd talk to anyone about stopping No Deal but won't countenance Corbyn as PM.
Not while Boris lives and breathes they ain't.
