Our site does *not* base any tactical voting recommendations on the European election results. The European elections are held under proportional representation. Those results are entirely irrelevant to a general election under first-past-the-post. It's that simple.

If youโ€™re a Libdem supporter your priority is to vote Libdem to help LDโ€™s win and if not win show improved vote count & progress. It is not the priority of a Libdem voter to vote Labour to keep Tories out. If you vote Labour to keep Tories out just join the Labour Party already.

There's a lot of interest in tactical voting, but also a lot of debate. Remember: tactical voting isn't about signing up to a party's policies, or even liking that party at all. It is a way to try to *keep out* the party you don't want - the Tories.

Which tactical voting advice should you believe? Look at to compare sites. When there's a 'clash', check: are some sites saying you should vote for a party that was a distant third place in 2017? You can safely ignore them. Simple.
