BREAKING: Finally HARD DATA: this in-depth MRP analysis by @BestForBritain of 12,816 people conclusively demonstrates the immense benefit of a #ProgressiveAlliance

Wiyh cooperation between @UKLabour,@Libdems & @TheGreenParty agreeing to field ONE unity candidate in each of only 154 English battleground seats, the Conservatives would end up with just 254 English MPs, seven fewer than Labour, which would have 261 English MP.

The Liberal Democrats would win 16 English seats and the Green party one.If the opposition parties were to field single unity candidates, the MRP-polling exercise found, the Tories would be left 40 seats short of a majority even if they succeeded in holding on to their 20

Scottish and Welsh seats and gained the backing of the DUP, which currently has eight seats in the HoC. Naomi Smith @pimlicat

said parties on the left should abandon their reluctance to work together:“In 2017 and 2019, parties on the right chose not to fight each other in key marginals& will likely to do so again.This shows that opposition parties must do the same as there is no other route to power"

as demonstrated by this analysis of the Labour party itself!

Last week @EdDavey sounded a more positive note about cooperation. He said that his party would target only one of two forthcoming byelections in Conservative-held seats. But he continued to reject a formal Alliance. This very large MRP poll of 12,816 voters shows @UKLabour &

@LibDems & @TheGreenParty must go the extra mile & agree to stand single candidates in less than a quarter of constituencies. They must cease to operate on outdated vision of the electorate & treat the voters as adults. Polls show large support from voters for cooperation.

Please RT.There is no excuse for party leaders @Keir_Starmer @EdwardJDavey @carla_denyer
not to seat down & talk. Let them know YOU know that they are failing us & that YOU will make them pay the price of this failure, resign your party membership & vote.

I will write to my Labour MP today. Do the same if you have an opposition MP of whatever party - except the great @CarolineLucas who supports an Alliance if PR is the prize.

Instead support @BestForBritain which intends to repeat such analysis on a regular basis & need our £ support to maintain the pressure on parties to do the right thing. #ProgressiveAlliance #GTTO #electoralreform

Together we - and the opposition- can win. Divided they -and we- will loose.

@LaylaMoran & @labourlewis are two other MPs who support cooperation & electoral reform. They deserve our support.
