There's a move down here in the South West by The Greens not to run in certain seats in order to direct the anti-Tory vote in one direction.
That would win Labour a Plymouth seat and the Lib Dems a couple of Cornish ones - in return the Greens might ask for the others to step aside in my constituency, Totnes. It is safe Tory country at the moment but the Greens are big in the town itself and would almost certainly win if Lib Dems and Labour stood aside for them. The only downside of such machinations is we would lose our MP, a former GP who is the only sensible Tory voice on the NHS ..........
Corbyn is fine, not a natural leader, but his beliefs are genuine (which is why two issues rip him apart - nuclear disarmament and the EU - both of which he has campaigned against for years like his mentor Tony Benn).
