It is however pretty routine in European countries where coalitions and confidence arrangements are the norm and manifesto delivery is always down to the art of the possible. That’s the scenario we are now in, and the only question we can ask is whether parties are trying to live up to their manifesto, not whether they actually do it.
I appreciate your need to grasp at any straw that might, just possibly, de-legitimise a No-Deal scenario but ultimately Parliament has already ruined your hopes by legislating in a way that makes that scenario the default.
