loving hell it sucks living in such a safe Tory seat. Tom Tugendhat is my MP and everyone likes to suck him off on all the local Facebook groups that I'm a part of, which is the best bellweather I have. :(

incredible name though, though there are no safe seats when the red dogs loose the leash

It's worth making poo poo like this into a single image file for each constituency they are pulling this crap in. Owning libs online aside it's actually pretty damning stuff and is a good tool, the lie is so obvious people will basically have to acknowledge it.

Awesome, gonna repost that.

Even though every labour supporter in my constituency and the neighbouring one I've spoken to is tactical voting SNP

sweet!
thanks for the scots advice, I got some rabid SNP fans in my gf's family who i want to keep on side

i'm thinking the scottish tories will collapse this time round, so I don't see much need for tactical voting.
apologies if Edinburgh North goes blue, it was all my fault.

We're looking into who's running these sites, btw.

If by “we” you mean Momentum, then it’s actually me who’s running the investigation. And the stuff in this thread about Best for Britain is better than most of the stuff we’ve got so far (I don’t want to slag anyone off, everyone’s volunteering and trying their best). So if anyone wants to summarise what’s found in this thread (I don’t understand what the code stuff is about), I’ll make sure it goes to the right people.

Rather than go through the website individually, the code has scraped the answers available at once to summarise it quickly. The last table posted clearly shows that the site has been biased against Labour, and is as much a Tory tool as Sajid Javid.

I can remember: I was talking to an older, somewhat liberal friend of mine and he, (somewhat jokingly)described me as a Marxist - sitting in a cafe, arguing endlessly and furiously about a utopian society. this was years ago but even at the time my immediate reaction was “oh no, we argue on message boards now”

Darren Jones is literally a Second Referendum before General Election Remainer melt(y):

He showed up at the Bristol anti-progation protest calling for a second referendum.

The justification given whenever anyone complains about the bias is that it's based on the European election results because those were more recent, despite the fact that they have never correlated with general election results.

A cynic might suggest that using the results of the European elections is just a convenient excuse to pretend that the Lib Dems will be winning everywhere, and those who made this decision are well aware that it makes no sense.

I couldn’t possibly comment.

getvoting.org tactical vote recommendation... Lib Dem!

This site https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/top-stories/best-for-britain-election-registration-campaign-1-6024826 suggests that they've been set up by Best For Britain who are an anti-brexit campaign group, so I guess their agenda is to build the lib dems up so they can block brexit enable a tory turbo-no-deal.

Just been on tactical.vote site and put in my constituency and it shows Conservative v Labour. (Currently rabid hard right tory mp)

See all here.

https://tactical.vote/all

I guess we need to make this much more prominent as the tactical voting site.

Also, is there somewhere to share in private common pro-Corbyn memes that might backfire? I tried discord but it keeps loading an old user name for me instead of this one and I don't know how to switch names. I wish this forum were private.

It's cool how the Lib Dems are saying: "We are not the liars we were in 2010. Also, we're the only ones who can beat the Tories in this LAB/CON marginal."

I wonder if perhaps they are being shortsighted and greedy, and this might come back to haunt them as more people learn about it. Nah. Swinson knows what she's doing.

Do people really need a guide to tactical voting? I know the answer to this is yes but loving hell, Google your constituency, one of the first or second results will be it's Wikipedia page which will list the results for every election it's existed for. Look at that, maybe if you can be arsed cross-reference it with the Brexit referendum & Euro election results and work out for yourself. It pretty obvious for most places. It's not even high effort.

As most people seem to do all their internetting on a smart phone these days, I think it makes looking things up too hard/time consuming. Personally, I couldn't be doing without my laptop. I do use the phone when I'm on holiday but how people function with such a small screen and horrible squitty 'keyboard' I do not know. Call me old. I am.

When May resigned the questions I got asked were;
1) "Oh, so is it Corbyn's turn to be PM now?" (I loving wish)

And then after explaining, no, it's a internal Tory thing because the Tories were the one currently in government.

2) Oh...so when do we vote for the PM them? Do we get a vote for that? (Not unless you're a Tory - which, thankfully, they aren't)

Just a complete disengagement with politics outside of quote-unquote "Big events", like an election, or the referendum.

People need a guide to basically everything.

But most people don't need a guide to anything, since only about 10% of the population actually has the power to effect change at all.

If you are in a conservative/liveral democrat constituency and are considering voting liberal democrat then follow your liberal democrat candidate, the lib dem leader and the lib dems party social media presence. You may stop following them when your delusion has passed.

I, to my own chagrin, once voted tactically because I thought voting Labour was stupid and the Tories won. The next year, I said to hell with tactical, voted Labour in a seat they had never won and Labour went and bloody did it. So loving vote Labour if you think you should or shouldn't
