I wonder if it’s occurred to Tim Farron and co (I’m sure it has) that the current existential crisis the Labour Party is going through is a key moment for the Liberal Democrats to invite the left of centre, centre and right wing of the Labour Party to join the LDs. Labour could very well become an outlier, may be split from within, and remain as a hard left protest group, with a few hundred thousand members. There’d be many disaffected traditional Labour supporters the LibDems could invite over to their side, particularly in the eventuality of a General Election later this year, and particularly if true (left of centre)/ centrist policies can be the cornerstone of the LibDem manifesto. Just a thought…
