Tactical Voting ……
Carry on reading and find out how to elect pro-Remain MPs to maintain our close ties with Europe in this most historic of elections
YOUR Vote can make a REAL Difference!
Tactical Voting also known as Strategic Voting, occurs in elections with more than two candidates, when a voter supports another candidate more strongly than his or her sincere preference, in order to prevent an undesirable outcome. In other words when it is necessary to go against lifelong beliefs and allegiances and vote for a candidate who supports your views on a particular subject, in this case Remain. However, in some instances it could be necessary to vote for a candidate when they are pro-Remain and pro-EU, whereas the candidate of your preferred party could be pro-Brexit.
This graphic from The Guardian exemplifies the impact that Tactical Voting can have.
Tactical voting will help to secure as many pro-remain MPs in Parliament as possible in order to stop Boris Johnson in his tracks and halt his progress towards a hard Brexit. With tactical voting, it is pointless to vote for your preferred candidate whose principles you believe in if they came 3rd or 4th in the 2017 election with a small number of votes and do not have any chance of winning the seat in your constituency.
