Here goes:
(1) The political parties need our support to come to the table, to start their talks. Let's identify and dismantle their barriers to doing so.
(2) Operationally, PA might consist of:
1. Shared values - inc. conservatives who feel politically homeless
2. Committed party leaders
3. Mobilised network of local groups
4. Climate of goodwill & joint purpose
5. Orchestrating entity to hold whole lot together
Please refine

(3) Particular party barriers. Please refine
1. @UKLabour - rules/process. Proposals for party cooperation coming to CLPs. & then to conference. Slow
2. @LibDems - lack of trust & internal debates
3. @TheGreenParty - fear of losing identity
4. Same for start-up parties & indies

(4) General party barriers. Please refine.
1. Lack of trust (again) - history, culture etc.
2. No leadership vision for inter-party cooperation
3. Reluctant party members
4. Structures & procedures
5. Abrasive political culture
6. Translating into offer for voters

I will post summary on Twitter for your further critical reflection, enrichment, ideas, and knowledge.
P.S. I will accept any kinds of reflections. I won't comment on them, except to offer my thanks to you for being generous enough to respond. That way, we don't close down too early on creative insights.
