I like to hear Swinson tell us if push came to shove, would she prefer to see Brexit or Jeremy Corbyn as prime minister. There's no way you'd get a straight answer out of her.

Understandably so. If she admitted preferring either, she'd frighten off potential LD voters, and particularly if she said Corbyn.

Sturgeon has the luxury of being able to say she'd work with Corbyn because she is appealing to a huge number of ex-Labour voters and isn't trying to win votes from natural Tory voters.

If she said that she'd work with Johnson, it would seriously hurt her. Can you imagine the reaction if she did, even just on here?

Whether she actually would or not if push came to shove is another matter and hopefully it'll never be put to the test.
