Don't know why you're laughing. Labour-SDP-Liberal coalition would easily form a government from the looks of it here.

Wow. Do people realize we're talking about one of the most left-wing politicians Labour had to offer? They might actually win this with a full majority.

Wow i just ran this through the electoral calculus, and combining SDP and Liberal we got.

361/230/33

But also with this result Thatcher would have actually lost her seat
