as detailed in the Guardian

Just wanted to draw attention to this blog post in the Guardian on this subject

The Liberals are clearly taking the forthcoming Henley by-election seriously, as evidenced by this YouTube video posted on Saturday. And so, of course, are Labour, I hasten to add.

Labourhome has been helping the Labour opposition leader on Liverpool city council, Joe Anderson, to take back the city for Labour. He needs 5 seats for NOC and 11 seats for a clear majority.

There is clear potential here for a high-profile victory for Labour on what will be a 'challenging' local elections night. The Lib Dems have spent the last 12 months engaged in in-fighting and turning the council into the 'worst in the country'.

I have written this piece on the Guardian's Commentisfree on electoral reform and the possibility of coalition with the Liberals.

In the medium term would it be a laudable goal to bring both sections of the progressive wings of British politics under the same umbrella?
