My ideal election outcome:
- Labour: 260-270
- SNP: 45-50
- LibDems: 30-40+
- Greens, Plaid Cymru, friendly sensible independents: 5-10+
1) Denies Tories a majority
2) Denies Labour a majority
3) Puts balance of power in the Remain camp
🤞 🤞🤞

*If* the above scenario played out, I could see Labour jettisoning Corbyn and as a result a Government of National Unity forming around a second referendum and points of agreement in the various manifestoes, with all parties represented in Cabinet.
If Corbyn didn't go, it would be an exclusively Labour minority government with a Sword of Damocles hanging over it as it could be brought down absolutely any time by its very reluctant backers. Corbyn would have to hold a second referendum, but the rest of the manifesto? Nope!
Corbyn boosters don't seem to grasp that if Labour don't get an outright majority:
A) They're not automatically entitled to be in government
B) Corbyn isn't automatically entitled to stay leader *if* Labour want to form a government
C) Labour doesn't get to enact all its policies
