My response on Twitter was as follows

Whilst this idea has merits, it would be very very difficult indeed with both main parties being extremely tribalist and selfish at present.

Just look at Corbyn flouncing out of a meeting because he didn't want to breathe the same air as Chuka Umunna this week for an example of this.

And that's before we get onto the whole matter of Ramsey MacDonald and the National Government of the 1930's (still an extremely sore point for Labour) or the Lib Dem's experiences of coalition with the Tories.
