Lib Dems, Greens and Plaid agree election pact

The Liberal Democrats, Plaid Cymru and the Green Party have formed an electoral pact, agreeing not to stand against each other in dozens of seats.

The three anti-Brexit parties will announce details of the deal on Thursday, but it is thought to cover between 60 and 70 constituencies.Such a pact means two of the parties would agree not to field a candidate, boosting the third candidate's chances.Thursday marks exactly five weeks until the UK general election on 12 December.

All three parties have already launched their election campaigns. They all support another Brexit referendum and want to Remain in the EU.about pacts in certain constituencies to ensure a pro-Remain candidate is elected."This is a significant moment for all people who want to support Remain candidates across the country."

Greens ally with Fracking supporter giving up way more than they are getting back to support a party with form on u-turning on their lead policies. Not a good look.

Got no chance

Well at least they'll get 3 votes I suppose 🤣🤣😜😜

Trembling with fear. What a group. Anyway the leader of the Liberal Democrat’s has a Scottish seat. If evil Edna pulls Scotland out of the UK she will not be a member of the UK parliament. Shambles would appear to sum it up.

Labour are offering a public vote on better terms.

'The three parties all support another Brexit referendum' Isn't this inaccurate? I thought the Lib Dem's policy was to revoke without a referendum? FactCheck FullFact

So three Party getting on the act...Let's call them.... THE BEMOANERS PARTY !!

How very undemocratic...

Wow. Desperate people calling for desperate measures. This looks un-Democratic in the least and is surely vote rigging isn't it? Remeber the Lib Dums saying if they were elected there'd be no University Fees...look at what happened there. emptypromises detatchedfromthemajority

The greens had one MP and the Lib dums took in the dross that left other parties just to boost their number of MP's. This pact shows just how ineffective as single parties they are. That they have to try to manipulate results.

Thats democratic.... giving voters no choice.

Wow 25 elected MPs between the 3 of them Boris must be bricking it.

Tories losing 100000's of votes because of their LoanChargeScandal, what is LibDems stance and specifically PaulKenLD as you have 100's affected in your constituency. Beresford has let so many down and snubbed the suicides it has caused already. BorisJohnson sajidjavid

Can't do anything on their own sad politics

Get on your bikes BBC Journos and quit being lickspittles to the leftist establishment.

democracy demands they be heard

What the f... do they stand for😂

Hellooooo ........ there was a democratic vote, remain is not an option, stop wasting time and money on something that is not an option, get Brexit done and worry about all the more pressing issues, drugs, Crime, education, healthcare! This whole farce is an absolute disgrace!

That’s 3 MPs!!

it shameful really their supporters are not 1 issue voters, I really do hope it backfires

Good move. It’s a way to get the many voices not represented by the first past post system heard in some way. Bring on Proportional Representation.

we must do what ever it takes to shaft the 17 million winning voters and revel in the arms of the losers

Whatever it takes for the Conservative party to be out.

Vote Fib Dem get Welsh Indy. Vote Plaid get Greens. Vote Green get Fib Dem.

Disgusting ~

Only two parties the Boar's and Tories and one of them doesn't stand a chance of getting in any more.

UKLabour MLmust join them,otherwise it will lose badly.

To me, in the picture of Jo Swinson, from a distance, I thought she had chest hair 😂

Wales voted to leave but let’s ignore that fact shall we

A pact of no hopers, how effective!

Plaid Cymru clearly not listening to its voters Wales Brexit result Leave 52.5% 854,572 VOTES Remain 47.5% 772,347 VOTES Counting completeTurnout: 71.7%

BRIBE and CORRUPT

Very SHAMEFUL....the leaders could have a cosy party together but won’t fool the voters....

Pacts, deals and coalitions should not be allowed, it's not democratic.

this shouldnt be allowed by any parties, its almost like vote rigging

Very democratic

The public have spent almost 4yrs watching nothing get through parliament. People no longer believe any promises as they know nothing gets through*. *besides expense increases

Incapable of fighting their own corners ..pathetic waste of space the 3of them

Illiberal Antidems now the party of breaking up the UK. Pact with Plaid Cymru Plaid_Cymru LibDems assume they’d be open to the Progressive Alliance with theSNP too 🙄

That's 12 votes then

Get the Tories out!

Why fight an election when you openly plot against democracy?

All of no importance.

Hahahahahahahaha. The unicorn jockeys are banding to get her to prove that 17 million people were stupid. After all, this very small portion of the UK population, know what is good for GB. They have the gift of fairy dust in their pockets. Reminds me of Alice in Wonderland.

They have no chance of getting in joswinson is just pathetic and like a little girl that keeps spitting her dummy out. Some advice joswinson give up and get a proper day job your party has a bad reputation and always will just give in.

A GOOD STARTING FOUNDATION for an issue based voting alliance between all the ANTE JOHNSON/CUMMINGS BREXIT FRAUD Groups. An alignment of those groups who have 2nd Ref on their Agenda next to wiping out Johnson's Fraud would thwart Cummings and evict the Squatters in No10

Including the greens in a pact is frankly immaterial, they only have 1 MP

What a bunch of bigots.

Naaaaaaw 😘

Wow😂
