Theresa May's latest u-turn is that she doesn't think this anymore.https://twitter.com/theresa_may/status/865855578454806529 …

Reckon we need to find out pretty immediately if May got more votes than a progressive alliance combined. And in what combinations??
Labour/LD/SNP/Plaid/Greens = 52.7% of vote, Tory/DUP/UKIP = 45.1%. Some 40 Tory seats where Tory vote less than progressive vote share.

You forgot Sinn Fein
-
They traditionally abstain from UK issues. But whenever it's come up, hypothetically, they'd go anti-Tory (whatever that was at the time)
-
I'm well aware of their political orientation.
-
Ah, OK. I dont get why you mention them in a tweet about UK majorities?
-
Because they could be a sleeping partner in a coalition.
-
I don't think any have actually been sworn in as MPs in Westminster, tho.

Not sure on which side you should be counting the Lib Dem votes.
-
The progressive coalition is just another way to neuter the left in this country in favour of the centre.
-
But as its that or the Tories....
-
... or a genuinely left wing labour party
-
It's pretty clear from last night that the Greens and Lib Dems are superfluous.
-
Only because we have a first past the post system in fairness
