I am in a safe Labour seat but I'll be voting Green. Labour lost my vote when they continued drifting to the right.
At the end of the day they need to win the election.
At this point I’d 100% take a shitty labour government that’s compromising, because it’s the first step to moving things back to the left.
If we had a better voting system then go for it, but I just think it’s silly for someone to waste a vote (if they aren’t in a safe seat).
Funnily enoguh I'm in a Labour safe seat and commented in another post my thiking on the vote:
I was gonna vote Green but they’re so non-existant in my constituency I may vote Lib Dem who are 4th. It’s a Labour safe seat so it’s not handing it to the Tories to vote my conscience. I’m Green economically but Lib Dem socially. Since Lib Dems are higher I’ll put my vote there.
because it’s the first step to moving things back to the left
How? If labour get in while acting like tories, what exactly is encouraging them to move back left?
Tactical vote, stop the Tories!

Check this site or risk splitting the left vote and letting the right wing in.
Strategic voting has always been farcial.
If you can't be bold enough as to vote for the party you want, you can't act surprised when you do not receive the country you want.
How does capitulating before you even arrive at the negotiating table a solution to that?
It's a vote, not a negotiation. Unless it is a ranked preference vote, which the UK General Election isn't (FPTP).
What a fantastic election… You’d struggle to get a rizla between the gaps in their policy positions and both parties are supporting genocide in Gaza. Which means in this election your choice is: you get to pick the colour of tie of the guy who uses your taxes to support the massacre of civilians. Red or blue.
Great. Democracy in action. What an opportunity to steer the nation. I’m so motivated to go vote.
Yay! That makes it even easier for the Tory party to get away with rampant breaches of election campaign laws - just like they have since 2009!!
