(Election pacts are *not* the same as post-election arrangements such as coalitions, command and supply agreements etc. It is possible and sensible to have one without needing to sort out the other.)
(It's like the difference between a first date and marriage. You don't have to discuss marriage before a first date. In fact, raising the topic is likely to sabotage any chance of that first date happening. Yet without a first date, there can never be marriage.)
Reminder:

- LibDems are unilaterally standing down in 3 more (Dominic Grieve, Anna Soubry etc.)
- Women's Equality Party is working with LibDems
