It all comes down to if the Lib Dems would vote for the same Queens Speech/ Budget as the DUP would, over a Labour government. If they propped up the government for the 2 time in 7 years, a Tory government would continue, otherwise Labour + SNP would probably rule.

They don't need to vote for it, just not vote it down. The oppo would basically have the Tories on a leash until they felt like collapsing the Government.

I used to like Jack Monroe and she does still occasionally put out a good opinion but oh my god she's had some ridiculous meltdowns and was super anti-Corbyn for a while. I think she drank the idpol kool-aid in a big way and she has definitely gone down the slightly worrying liberal left track so beloved of American 'progressives',

Libdem are anti-Brexit vs Tory Hard Brexit "no deal is a good deal". Those two positions will be hard to reconcile.

Doesn't matter though as May will have a 100+ majority.

I know it's the Lib Dems we're talking about but I find it almost impossible to believe that even Tim Farron could be so shortsighted as to coalition with the Tories again under any circumstances in light of what happened the first time around. Now they're diametrically opposed on Brexit too I can't even imagine them agreeing to a supply/confidence agreement.

Actually, in the YouGov numbers (which arn't happening anyways) Labour+SNP+Greens+Plyd outnumber Tories+NI unionists, so if the lib dems abstained the government would just collapse by one or two votes. Not that we'd get that, much too good for us.

Tory landslide guarantees more killing of the poor and vulnerable, more erosion of civil liberties, more cuts, more privatisation, and more money for the rich.

Labour victory at least allows for the sliver of a chance of a successful left-wing oriented Brexit which takes advantage of independence to push a heavy programme of nationalisation that would be more difficult under EU rules. That almost certainly won't happen, but at least it's a theoretical possibility.

I actually think that Brexit with a Labour government could potentially be the best possible timeline. They would probably negotiate a better deal than the Tories and we'd be less hostile to Europe in the coming years as a result. Labour could avoid major criticism on it because they were 'just doing the best they could with the mess the Tories made' and actually being out of the EU opens a lot more options with regards renationalisation and other left-wing policies that would have been made very difficult by Brussels.
