Tactical voting on Thursday : Mon Dec 09, 2019 10:47 am  

Now that the Brexit Party has imploded and is "reforming", it's more important than ever that everyone uses their head and decides what they want and more importantly, what they dont want.
There may be much to admire about the Green's or Libdems but, in many areas, a vote for either of these is just spitting in the wind.
If they genuinely have a chance of stopping Boris, then go for it but, in areas where they haven't a chance of making any difference, it's critical that people dont waste their vote.
This is all about a Johnson hard Brexit or not.
His oven ready deal will never be cooked and the likelihood is for no deal at the end of 2020, when there will be an admission that "it just wasn't possible" because of the "EU wanting to punish us for leaving".
There will be teddies coming out of collective prams at a rate of knots, lots of hot air and we will be out in the economic wilderness.

Think before you vote.

Sadly many only think about their prejudices.

As long as that is anti Tory or anything with a blue rosette, that's fine

I wish people would realise that statements like “they come over here from the EU and treat it like their own” will impact on those uk citizens living abroad and anyone thinking of going away. This will be worse if they implement visa requirements as indicated by the conservatives.

Agreed
It's probably the same people who go abroad and expect everyone to speak English.
People should be judged as people and not by race, creed, colour, religion, gender etc -it's what's on the inside that counts and having respect and compassion for others.

With the talk of tactical voting has this not been taking into account of in the poll results?
The 3 months prior to registration deadline date over 4m new voters registered, 2/3 under 34. Will they not have an influence?
The media have been talking as this election were like any other but if the younger voters do turn out to vote and tactical voting takes place like never before then it could be an election like no other.
