The priority in British elections is, and always has been, to keep the Tories out.
I was having this conversation with my dad last night. He's in his seventies, has only ever voted Labour in any election his entire life. He lives in a Labour constituency with a 4.3% margin over the Tories today, yet feels so disillusioned with and disenfranchised by Labour that he will probably vote LibDem. I offered to swap votes with him, I'm in a safe Labour seat, but he refused.
