• In Cambridge, under fptp, that's a wasted vote.

    No, the constituency is currently held by Labour.

  • the constituency is currently held by Labour

    Who are probably going to lose it anyway: http://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/cgi-bin/seatdetails.py?seat=Cambridge and it was LIB barely 2 years ago so the "currently held by" argument barely holds.

    Best chance of winning:

    1. LIB with a 39% chance
    2. CON with a 31% chance
    3. LAB with a 28% chance

    This pattern is repeated on other data driven sites for Cambridge, the biggest factor is the Remain vote which was extremely strong.

    It is likely that this election will end in a Conservative landslide, but honestly... do you want to risk it?

    That's the point of forming a progressive alliance and voting tactically, to exclude the Conservatives and have both a local candidate who works for you whilst helping to ensure there is some degree of viable opposition in the House of Commons.
