Same. I did contribute to the massive 4% upswing for the lib dem candidate, putting her a solid 7,000 votes behind the labour candidate (who was 7,000 votes behind the conservative)

My constituency was 43% Con, 32% Lib dem, 23% Lab in 2017. For the last few years I'd been tactically voting Lib Dem as they seemed to be the only viable option other than tories.

After lurking this thread for the last week, I voted Labour this afternoon.

I vote Tactically.

I look at the parties and tactically choose the one that would best represent me and then I vote for that party.

That party is Labour, and I have voted now.

(I have nicked the idea and paraphrased it on Twitter, hope that's alright)

Of course.

People speaking about voting for lib dems (tactically) makes me sick precisely because I can see their reasoning. And their reasoning sucks. If people who want labour vote labour they'd get more voters than the lib dems because you have to be a bellend to want to vote for the lib dems.

They can and will use Labour as an excuse. Tories lie when they open their mouths.

For those hoping Brexit will hurt the Tories - remember that a solid majority means 5 years of Boris. That's 5 years for the bad effects to be counter-acted by a recovery. Voters are like goldfish - they'll forget the Brexit shock if things are slowly improving (relatively speaking) by the time of the next election.

Probably more damning will be the Scottish/Irish reactions, especially if it leads to IndyRef2 or Troubles 2.

Not to mention redistricting and voter id.

We are proper hosed.

I've never voted Tory in 5 general elections. But I can be pretty certain that this thread is a little microcosm of why Labour lost and will continue to lose.

Someone talking about this thread being a bubble? It is. Also it's hysterical and nasty.

For most voters this was a choice between a dog turd and a cat turd. But the cat turd is calling them a racist ethnic cleanser.
