Rather a misleading headline: it's a cross-party alliance which includes those two parties, but also others.
"That bloke over there, out of Ultravox, is really childish."
"Him? Midge Ure?"
"Yes, very."

I think the reason for the headline is that the two parties combined are currently running around  40 and 45 % in opinion polls.

And I think the reason is that they want an eye-catching headline to make it click-bait.

As well as being diametrically opposed on most matters of policy.
