Political parties put a lot of effort in to making themselves the Good Guys in their supporters and activists minds. This involves making the other political parties look like the Bad Guys, and closely linking themselves to key ideological touchstones and policy platforms and creating some element of tribalism.

With this in mind I am viewing the public ruminations by the likes of Sturgeon and Swinson that a Government of National Unity, perhaps lead by Corbyn, perhaps not, not as the exercising in public of some internal dialogue and more as warming up their base over a two week period to accept a deal that they have already agreed with the Labour Party.

Not certain about this, but, I think the pronouncements are more internal party PR than public debate.
