  • Should I be honest with my vote and respect the system or do I lay my vote where I believe it stands the greatest chance of being effective...?

    Well that's up to you, I have done both in the past, but am likely to vote tactically this time because:
    a) the current MP for my constituency is Conservative, and I am voting against them in the hope of a hung parliament
    b) my constituency is marginal so my vote might actually make a difference this time (it never has in the past)

  • Based on the share of the vote from previous elections, the Labour candidate appears closest. This seat went from Lab to Con in 2010, before that it was Lab for a good while. So if voting tactically I'd go for the Lab candidate (despite not really wanting a Lab government).

    I'm still not 100% decided who I'll vote for. I've read up a little on the candidates and the Con MP we currently have does seem like he actually does stuff for the local area, so he might be one of the good ones, but I still wouldn't vote for him bnecause if he held his seat then that's 1 seat closer to a conservative government (or con led coalition) and I don't believe (based on the past 5 years) that the Cons care about a large proportion of the population. So that's why I'd vote tactically.
