General Election Voting Guide

Post by Stanshall »

If you're interested in the Tories losing the General Election above all else, this is a very handy guide on where your vote would likely be most effective.

As expected, Bromsgrove isn't on the spreadsheet. Not at all surprising, since Sajid Javid won with 53.8% of the vote in 2015.

Conservative as all hell 'round here.

(As a depressing aside, UKIP were third in 2015, with 15.6% of the Bromsgrove vote.)

Everyone in Redditch has to vote Lumley out. She totally fucked us all over by absolutely refusing to stand up to cuts at the Alex. (That's a hospital. Not me. Nobody is cutting me).

If the Liberals campaign in Guildford strongly on Remain then I think they can take it back from the Tories. Last election the vote against the Tories was split between the Greens and LibDems here, if even half the people that voted Green had voted Liberal instead they would've won, so it could be very close here.

Applied for my postal vote so I can help even from afar.

Thank you kindly, sir.

Given current polls, it really does feel a bit of a tall order to not have a Conservative government, but perhaps forcing a coalition isn't out of the question. It'd be easier if Labour (and the Lib Dems) were less of a mess at the moment, but convincing people to be enthusiastic about voting for either of them seems like it might take some doing.

'tis a tall order, but it's a chance. There are always those for whom the Conservatives can do no wrong, just have to hope enough of those who actually 'swing' have seen what a depressing world the C's are creating and jump ship.
