I think the answer here is clearly no better than the Conservatives can - so what makes Labour think they are in any better position. Failing all else the Tories can still go it alone. |

Simple arithmetic says they can't. They could only win votes by getting Tory MP's to vote with them rather than the tory party itself, so they can try of course, its constitutionally possible (if the tories fail at their queens speech) but not really realistic.

If the Tories don't get the Queen's speech passed then the Labour Party will get a fair shot at it. If that doesn't work then it's another election.
Realistically, if the Tories can't get an acceptance of the Queen's speech, even with the help of the DUP then it really is a bad show. Just can't see it myself, they can tweak their manifesto to appease the backbenchers and guarantee getting their support. |

Big fat no then judging by the lack of responses. No surprises.

Obviously no, basic maths, dear. But there are other ways

I imagine they'll just snatch at least the minority at the election that's inevitably coming in the next few months. Tories have quite possibly forced themselves out of both a majority and a minority by calling this election like they did.
Labour's on a roll and they were very nearly had the votes to take the minority in this election, if they take the minority in the next election they'll be able to form their own coalition quite easily I expect. |

I think any politician would be crazy to predict the result if it was run again, lets say in the next 12 months. We can all hope that it will result in better behaviour across the board in parliament, but I won't be holding my breath. |

They'd need the DUP vote too and no way will that come.
Just as The Greens Plaid Cymru and the SNP would not vote for the Cons. 10 more seats to Labour on June 8th then that would have been more likely. After the next election however,I'd say more than probably as to yes they could. |
