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!
Aren’t some of these tactical voting sites run by the political parties, though? Not independent views.
You’re exactly right, which is why we have to be so careful. I think we’re going to see a big increase in that kind of thing, especially around the next general election - as parties who suffer from tactical voting attempt to muddy the water
