Yep Labour won't win in Brecon and Radnorshire, so I'm voting LD.

Bit surprised by this poll, or maybe NSC'ers are clearly just more intelligent than your average Joe...

Sadly no tactical vote was possible for me - only 1 winner in my constituency no matter what.

A tactical vote option would have made my choice so much easier.

Same for me. Tory held seat with over 50% of the vote.

So I'm casting my vote as a pseudo anti-Brexit vote and thus handing it to the Lib Dems, even thought they'll likely be 3rd. I want my Remain viewpoint to be unambiguous.

That's how the Tories reach their statistics. From out of their arses. :lolol:

There's a lot more at stake for people than Brexit by allowing Boris a free reign on this country. A lot more.

I have yet to speak to one person who would risk putting Corbyn into power.

what a fkn mess these people have dragged this country into, if you can vote with a clear conscience for the Conservative party then fair play, you have no conscience and deserve another 5 years of bullshit.

Same here.

I’m voting Lib Dem purely on their remain position but would happily vote Labour if there was a chance they could win here. Unfortunately Fareham is totally blue though.

Go with your conscience or don't vote at all.

IMHO 'tactical voting' is a vile concept and an abuse of your vote.

Absolute nonsense. The value of my vote does not lie in influencing the number of votes gained by each candidate in my consituency it lies in influencing what can affect my life and that of the nation (i.e. what goes on in parliament).

So you don't vote with your conscience then? Fair enough, each to their own :shrug:
