Would Labour Jump Into Bed With UKIP If It Guaranteed Them To Be In Power In 2020?

It would mean an end to Corbyn's support of FOM though, but a majority of Labour MP's outside of London want to end Freedom of Movement anyways.

Would Labour be willing to sacrifice their morals (of sneering factor of UKIP as partners) to get a majority in the next election? or risk years of obscurity..

No they wouldn't. Right wing parties don't join forces with socialists.

One thing we've learnt is that Corbyn is very 'principled' - so no. Never.

I suppose what you are saying is that Labour still has morals. The Lib Dems lost them in 2010, The Tories have never had them and UKIP doesn't understand the concept.

Spare the thought -- -- jumping in bed with the likes of Farage, Flynn, Carswell or Nutall is something I would prefer not to imagine. Even Labour has some sort of standards

It would be one good way of wrecking both Labour and UKIP within a year.

Any party that stoops to the level of working with the Kippers will never be elected again.

What a bizarre question? Firstly how would it get Labour a majority when UKIP only have 1 MP and I can't see them gaining much more? And secondly Labour would lose alot of seats in multicultural areas especially London if they had anything to do with UKIP. It would certainly do the Lib Dems alot of good though.

Why on earth would UKIP want to be lumbered with a toxic Labour Party when disagruntled ex-Labour voters are already flocking to them in droves?

I would say no.
I think Labour may well be out of power for many year to come.
They will just bide their time until the government of the day make one big cock-up which gets the people up in arms.
People are waking up to the realisation that they do have the power to make things change on the political front.
Most MPs are only interested in their own seats and at last are taking notice of their constituents that includes those in the cabinet.

FPTP makes it impossible for UKIP and other parties to have seats, let alone power, so it couldn't happen, period.

Exactly and UKIP's one seat is hardly going to fill the huge gap.

UKIP is a far right party - beyond most people's idea of where politics ends and extremism starts. Corbyn's Labour leadership holds opposite ideas on almost every issue - apart from admiration for Putin. There's no common ground on defence, immigration , economics or the environment or moral issues. Labour MPs might hold more centrist views on defence, economics and the environment , but they also stand on the opposite side on Europe, and don't share UKIP's views on immigration either. There's zero chance of any coming together there.

Its not an issue anyway because UKIP will be devoid of funding and purpose by 2020, and will be paying a price for its referendum lies, and its internal chasms.

No MP, even UKIP ones, have the slightest desire to end FoM - it would ruin the country and they know it. They just claim to be racist arseholes to get the DigitalSpy vote.
