Would you approve of an “rainbow” coalition of progressive parties?

Based on current polling, the most likely outcome of a general election would be Reform largest party, but no majority. In those circumstances, would you approve of Labour / Green / Lib Dem / possibly SNP coalition if they had enough seats to reach a majority?

I just don't believe there is any way reform will actually be the largest party. I think the most likely outcome will be another labour majority but less than last time.

In what way are "Labour / Green / Lib Dem / possibly SNP" progressive parties?

Not unless the Lib Dems, Greens and SNP suddenly grew a backbone and a brain, remembered that women have rights, changed their ridiculous policies and made a grovelling apology for all the years they tried to throw women under the bus, no.

If they genuinely did the above, then yes.

I can’t stand Reform, btw, I’m a Centre Left voter.
