1/ If you are sick of Labour's pandering to red wall Brexiters and its ignoring of the substantial majority who believe Brexit to be a mistake, here's what to do.
2/ To beat the Tories in the next General Election will almost certainly require electoral cooperation among opposition parties to overcome the toxic effect of FPTP. So we must campaign for an electoral alliance in key seats.
3/ The need for an electoral alliance means that Labour cannot play the game of saying vote for us or you get the Tories, because by so doing they would be serving as Tory enablers. And we should call them out on that if they try to block cooperation.
4/ Electoral cooperation therefore means that we are not stuck with supporting Labour in order to beat the Tories. We have a choice of which opposition party to support, though in an election we would have to vote for the sole opposition alliance candidate in key seats.
5/ Pragmatically, electoral cooperation would work well between Labour and LibDems, as there is very little overlap in their key target seats against the Tories.
