Lib Dems have to find an alliance

THE Lib Dems will need to be in a coalition to stop Brexit [“The Lib Dem dilemma,” July 17]. But not after an election — they would have to do it before one. If the new Tory leader calls an early election, Labour would have to support that, but is in no position to win with Jeremy Corbyn as leader. The Lib Dems would have to create an electoral alliance.

And here’s the nightmare scenario: What if the new PM calls an election that falls after October 31? A no-deal Brexit would become inevitable with Parliament not sitting.
