Tactical Voting

Hello - not interested in any political debates etc, but I’m just trying to understand who the tactical vote would be to stop reform taking control? I’m new to the area and I’m hearing different things from different people…

I've also been trying to find this out. There's a website called tactical vote which you could try, although it didn't have any advice for my ward unfortunately. I'm basing my vote off my search on electoral calculus, which predicts what the results would likely be if there was a general election held tomorrow. Not perfect I know but the best I can find. If anybody has any other recommendations I'd be glad to hear them! I had a look at a few wards within Southport and depending on where you are the tactical vote seems to be either labour or torie. Hope that makes sense and is potentially useful!

Yeah I’d usually look at those sites but mine had no advice for my ward either. The polling seems to indicate Lib Dem is the tactical vote in my area but I can only find one poll 🫠

I'll be brutally honest. There's no way current polling has the resolution to make ward specific claims. Which makes a lot of these sites a little messy.

Yeah. I'd like to know how PollCheck gets it's "data"

Are you sure about that domain name? Just checked it, and that domain is for sale...

No worries. I should have thought to check that as an alternative.
