UK: 'Unite for Remain' releases list of 60 seats across England and Wales that
have been divided between the Liberal Democrats (43), Greens (10) and Plaid
Cymru (7) in order to maximise the chances of ousting the sitting Conservative
or Labour MP, or maintaining the seat for the incumbent Lib Dem, Green, or Plaid
candidate.
- Lib Dems being given free rein by Greens to tackle 'safe' Conservative seats
such as Tunbridge Wells, Chelsea and Fulham, and Witney. 
- Greens will be unopposed in the only seat they currently hold (Brighton
Pavilion) and 9 other seats in England (4 Con, 5 Lab).
- Plaid Cymru will seek to oust 4 Labour MPs in Wales while 3 of their MPs will
not face competition from Lib Dems or Greens. 
- With pro-Leave vote split between Conservatives and Brexit Party in some of
these seats, and Labour vote vulnerable to pro-Remain parties, the 'Unite to
Remain' alliance could win some seats previously seen as unwinnable.
