Baffling EP narratives on my timeline:
1. We must stop Farage.
You can’t. If people want to vote for him in semi reasonable numbers he will get elected. That is PR for you.
Suggestion: focus on what you positively want
2. We must have an electoral pact
Sorry. Deadline has passed. Move on.

1. I’m seeing a number of people (liberal leavers, Remainer ‘compromisers’) going through he cogs of getting to EEA/EFTA minus CU as being an acceptable solution for Britain post-Brexit.
2. The thought process seems to be that it throws a bone to Leavers with an ‘independent trade policy’, whilst maintaining (in the case of Remainer ‘compromisers’) something that they want, normally freedom of movement.
