Far from easy, and beset by dozens of issues I'm sure, but if the LibDems and Greens could somehow combine forces (properly, I mean, not via a cobbled together pact) they could completely rewrite the history of British politics!
It would have to start with putting Caroline Lucas in charge of Environmental policy, and focusing a huge amount of energy on the topic, and build on that somehow.
Now my idea may be unworkable, naive, impractical, impossible. But if your argument is "Why should the LibDems or Greens compromise on anything when they can achieve power alone?" you really, really need to wake up to the real world. Things have changed, yes - but not that much!
There is a certain remorseless logic to it: our biggest challenge for the next 5-10 years is Brexit. Our biggest challenge for the next 30-50 years is climate and the environment. What better way to meet these twin challenges than a political super-group?
