I’ll take anything that averts a far-right Tory majority and stands even a hope in hell of averting Brexit. Anyone with an IQ over about 80 who isn’t a racist or billionaire tax-exile should clearly vote tactically against the Conservative Party even if it means holding their nose in the polling station. The trouble is far too many people are either profoundly thick or racist, hence we are where we are.
Corbyn may be an utter tool as a leader, but by any logical measure he is less economically and socially destructive than the current ERG extremist Conservative Party. He is also highly unlikely to win a majority so centrists looking to tactically vote against Johnson needn’t be too worried about some of the further reaching Labour manifesto pledges which will clearly never be implemented.
To put it another way any scenario that results in people such as Michael Gove, Chris Grayling, Pritti Patel or Jacob Rees Mogg being placed in positions where they can actually impact people’s lives should clearly be strategically voted against. This should be blindingly obvious to anyone.
What about here which is basically a safe Tory seat? Tactical voting is useless, so voting Labour would probably make no difference. I might as well go with the party whose policies appeal to me most, which is Green.
