Hi!
Tactical voting in the UK has been commanding increased attention in the last few years. It appears that the “tactical vote” is now a target by political parties, in a similar way to how they target other demographics / groups. During the Gorton and Denton by election - we saw three separate parties appealling to the tactical voter, claiming that they were the tactical choice.
It is therefore important to be aware of a potential increase in false tactical information.
Furthermore, there is a recent push to provide tactical voting advice for every election, including tomorrow’s local elections - something which hasn’t really been done in the past.
I just wanted to share what I consider to be the best resource for finding accurate tactics voting advice. Cheers!
Pretty much all of the progressive parties in my constituency have been selling themselves as the “tactical choice”, despite there being a new proportional voting system in Wales that doesn’t really allow that.
The Greens seem to be the worst for it, to the point of citing a poll back in January that said they were neck and neck with Reform for the last seat. You would expect better from them really, its kinda putting me off.
I agree, very off putting. Hence why it’s important we listen to independent advice, not the parties themselves
