Tactical voting information – use your vote to wipe the Tories off the map

A new widget lets voters see how to make sure their vote counts in July’s General Election.

The First Past the Post system means your preferred party may stand very little chance of winning where you live.

Headline polls suggest the Conservative Party are facing an extinction-level defeat, with the party currently trailing by less than 10% in 131 seats, according to MRP polling by Survation for Best for Britain. It means the smallest change in their fortunes in the remaining three weeks of the campaign could make a huge difference to the final result.

So many people hoping to change the government at this election – or who are hoping to block Nigel Farage ’s Reform UK from winning seats – are considering casting their vote tactically. In some seats it will be very obvious who to back. But in others it’s not so clear.
