Opposition parties need to come together to find common ground. Here's how:

Manifesto For Opposition.

Electoral Reform

There is fundamental right behind votes mattering. All opposition parties can benefit from a less extreme electoral system.

Agree a platform across parties, and this will ease future co-operation.

Climate Change

All opposition parties agree climate change matters.

So agreeing a new consensus on how to undertake a green revolution makes more sense than marginally different approaches.

Reinvigorate the State

For too long the UK has let the State stand aside and just incentivise markets to fix problems, which fails.

Mass nationalisation is not the only alternativ. State housing or running railways is normal for countries.

Internationalism

All the Opposition parties are internationalist. So agree on what that means. Closeness to the EU, trade, security - plenty of common ground to build a vision from.

Devolve Power

The opposition parties are strong in councils and mostly have concentrations of strength geographically. And the public don't like Westminster anyway.

So agree to devolve power/money

Rebuild NHS

A "no brainer". Scrap the broad platitudes and generic promises. Create a set of policies from funding to structures, and make them the standard.

All opposition parties see the NHS under threat, and voters care.

This is low hanging fruit for all opposition parties. Maybe more would be good. But this is how to set a new vision for the UK.
