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…

The obvious two rebellious ones. Perhaps not the one happy to strip britain of it's culture year by year and happy to be walked over by everyone.

Do you think people laugh at poland, or hungary, or denmark or china, or japan of current? Absolutely not.

Are the 'two rebellious' leaders the two privately educated boys who went on to be bankers before becoming career politicians?

Deflection of the point just for a personal attack. If they were bricklayers it'd still be irrelevant. Are they more likely to have Britain respected on a global stage more than greens or the current conservatives, or not? We all know the answer.

Funny thing is, I just said how they were educated and their jobs...

TBH, I think we'd be laughed at if Reform, Restore or the Greens were in government.

Worth saying that for these local elections today, it's more about who you think would be the best at running things like social and child care in your area, and looking after your bins and parks etc, rather than who would laugh at whom being the PM.

Our area has been neglected under multiple governments and by Merseyside ever since they inherited it, the government won’t change that. None of them are pledging a reduction in council tax or a surge of money into Southport particularly so I couldn’t care what London is going to be on the receiving end of😂 what is for sure is the difference in who could potentially be in Southport & who’s more likely to flood Southport with net negatives & people who don’t respect the place… and it’s not restore at least. Hard enough for people to get houses/rental properties round here as it is

Your local councillors don't have any say on who moves to Southport.

Todays' vote is more about who you trust to take away your bins, provide social care and child services, and look after your local parks and amentities.

Your initial response back to me was about party leader, not local councillor.. So clearly I’m referencing the bigger picture & the parties.
