"This coalition does not fill me with confidence but if it happens, which it may not as I know many Labourites who don't want it, then we will be willing to work with them on a case by case basis at most"

However, one boon will be Labour winning the battle to control Brexit policy.The Liberal Democrats have been forced into a U-Turn as severe as the U-Turn on tuition fees, rolling back on their pledge to oppose Brexit, and are now not only committing to leaving the European Union, but also the single market. This is in contrast to the Liberal Democrat pledge n the manifesto that said they said "rejecting a hard Brexit at all costs is where we stand.... The Single Market and Customs Union are virtues we cannot give up at any cost."Not only are they rolling back on this red line, where they stated they shall up give up membership of the single market or customs union "at any cost" (which presumably should have included coalition talks), they have also rolled back on their pledge to place a final deal to a referendum with the option to remain in the EU.The Classical Liberals meanwhile, have gone back on their promise to ensure "no imposition of tariffs between the UK and the EU on the trade of goods or services," with the policy to leave the single market being found in the government policy agreement.By choosing to leave the single market, there will inevitably be tariffs to trade between the UK and the EU.Asked to comment on the developments, party representatives for Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Classical Liberals declined.The deputy leader of Labour, waasup008 said they didn't talk to a "Tory rag," and that they had no comment to make, whilst Lib Dem deputy leader m1cha3lm declined to comment on the coalition deal. The Classical Liberals likewise declined.Responding to the rumoured coalition deal, Leafy_Emerald, the Conservative leader said that "This proposed 'sunrise' coalition would likely be very unstable for a variety of reasons such as the parties having major policy unalignments on Brexit - for instance. This proposed coalition would mean that one or even all of the parties 'sells out' and go against their values."ContrabannedTheMC, Green principal speaker, released a lengthy statement, stating that "the Brexit policy is similar to ours, with the results being respected and a parliamentary vote on the final deal. So that we can support. I must say I'm not so sure on the Clibs having foreign given their very public PR gaffes."A successful foreign office is headed by a diplomat, not a wingnut, and I hope that if they do indeed take that office they have someone who is more of a NicBroaddus and less of a Boris Johnson. My message to them as a former foreign secretary is try not to dismiss other countries' problems as stupid bollocks like you did with the language situation in Northern Ireland. That would not be a wise move.Trevism, the leader of Sinn Féin, said that "Sinn Fein are of course disappointed that Labour and the Liberal Democrats have taken it upon themselves to enter talks with sectarians."I have made their thoughts on Duncs11 and the Classical Liberals very clear in the past, much as his members have compared my party to terrorists and referred to our friends in the Republic as "living in a shithole." To entertain those who share those views amounts to gross negligence of the desires of the Northern Irish people, and I for one hope that such a government is not allowed to see the light of day."Striking a more positive tone, cthulhuiscool2, a senior Libertarian Party member speaking for himself said that he questioned how stable such a coalition would prove to be "given the clear differences in policy; especially regarding the European Union and Single Market.""If such a government was to form, so be it. I'm sure the Libertarian party will carry out it's duty to scrutinise the government whatever it's composition, but work constructively with all parties to enact as much of the platform we were elected upon as possible."
