1/ We should be pressing as hard as possible to get opposition parties to accept electoral cooperation and to immediately start work on the basic arrangements. Cooperation is vital for defeating the Tories under FPTP. Without it all our efforts will be in vain.
2/ We need a hashtag for an electoral cooperation campaign. Ideas would be welcome. One requirement is that the hashtag be short.
3/ Electoral cooperation does not demand monolithic unity. We in the opposition will continue to disagree among ourselves about all sorts of issues. But these should be treated as disagreements among allies and friends. Disagreement must not mean enmity.
4/ When it comes to a General Election there must be no policy red lines. We have to get the Tories out, and that means compromise. But that doesn't mean that in the meantime we shouldn't push very hard for parties to accept what we consider to be important policies.
