Labour MPs looking for a party with a social democrat/ liberal agenda need look no further than the Liberal Democrats. Why on earth would they join the Tories?
Even though Theresa May is more acceptable than any of the alternative Tories, she is still a Tory. I wish her well in this horrendously difficult task of becoming PM in the present circumstances, but she has pursued many right wing policies.
This country needs a strong centre/left party to oppose a Tory government. The Liberal Democrats were united in opposing the Iraq war, have a strong leader in Tim Farron and a huge number of councillors and members all over the country who are ready and willing to support the party in spite of the lack of medioa support.
