Please retweet if you want the opposition parties to cooperate in the next General Election in order to get the Tories out.

Current polling suggests a Tory defeat, but a small recovery would keep them in power with DUP help.

A Progressive Alliance isn't about parties giving up their identity. It should be about strengthening and reforming democracy, including proportional representation, kicking big money out of politics, media reform and genuine regional government.

A Progressive Alliance could be a 1997 style informal pact. But I think that a formal alliance built around a shared commitment to democratic reform could be presented as a new grown-up style of politics, built around compromise rather than schoolboy yah-boo tribal yelling.

Instead of opposition parties shouting "You're a load of rubbish", which is what so much of British politics has come down to, wouldn't it be good to hear opposition parties saying that while they differ, they believe the other parties have good people and plenty of good ideas.
