Can we have a "progressive alliance" in Westminster?

Nicola Sturgeon wants the SNP, Labour, the Lib Dems and the Greens to unite in order to get rid of the Tories. It's a nice idea but Labour and the Lib Dems are stubbornly against it and probably hope they can form their own formal coalition. This will help Nicola anyway as she can say even the slightly better English parties don't want us to have a say.

@thatscottishguy: Look on the bright side, if the Scottish Nationalists do well enough, your second referendum will have a strong mandate!

@SandInMyShoes: We already do but yeah it can't hurt to have even more of one.

@thatscottishguy: if they fight the election on the promise of one, it'd be impossible to deny them one. I think Theresa May said "after the election" recently.

@SandInMyShoes: That's what they did for the Scottish election and people claim they still don't have a mandate.

@thatscottishguy: With a local and national election fought and won in Scotland on the promise of it, nobody could deny it. And it's only fair, self-determination and all that.
