    Worth pointing out that the author of this piece is labours campaign manager. Its absolutely in his interest to try and make out that it isnt in the bag for labour as lower turn out if people think its a done deal could be the difference between a huge and crushing victory for labour.

    That said if you live in a seat where the Tories are incumbents or closest chalenger you should absolutly vote for whoever is best placed to win against them no matter what you think the result will be. They need to be crushed this election.

      True, and worth noting. But what he says is inarguably true: no votes have been cast and if people assume they don’t need to bother voting, that could have a dramatic effect on the final result.

      I agree with the need for tactical voting. I absolutely disagree with the desirability of ever voting for Reform, even to drive the Tories out.
