How to #VoteTactically in the council #LocalElections2022, thread šŸ§µ

IMPORTANT: this is not an exact science, local information should be considered too

TL:DR if the councillor(s) in your ward are Tory, then usually youā€™d vote for the party that came close second last time

Unlike the many previous elections I've experienced, this election is pivotal for the course of our country and maybe its very soul. #GE2019 #VoteLabourOnThursday #VoteLabour #VoteTactically
A Tory government led by an habitually lying, incompetent & cowardly man, who is at ease with the use of racist language, trying to push through a ultra laissez faire Brexit, could mean the start of a slow erosion of progressive non-racist values within the UK, which I dearlyā€¦
ā€¦cherish as an ethnic minority.

Just think if the United Kingdom had given into fear and not had hope after World War II, and voted in a Tory government opposed to the NHS, how things might have been much worse for ordinary people.

Tactical voting #CitiesofLondonAndWestminster

Polls & sites seem to suggest vote for Lib, not Lab - data shows there will be a Tory win without strong Lab movement to LibDems now.

In our strong Remain constituency, make your Remain vote count - however hard to cross that box.
A serious threat: Cities of London & Westminster will end up without an MP that reflects strong Remain constituency, by a split vote.

Most #tacticalvoting polls now advise LibDem @ChukaUmunna.

Get closer to another ref & deprive Johnson of a majority. Strong switching needed.
Whatever your usual voting habits, tactical voting really matters now.

It can stop a heavy Johnson majority - or unseat him/Raab.

This isnā€™t only about Brexit, but the country we become, as Johnson cracks down on the institutions that hold him to account. We can stop that.

Labour is 'devoting the top section of its manifesto to tackling the environment crisis.'

You believe Corbyn is a Brexiteer. (*For this tweet*, let's say he is).
So you don't vote Labour despite them being the clear tactical choice in your area.
As a Result, Boris Johnson makes Brexit happen.
Who wins? Corbyn.
If you want to hurt Corbyn: Vote Labour!šŸ˜‰
#VoteTactically
(Continued)
How stupid would you feel if you found out Corbyn had intentionally dragged his feet for 3 years before supporting a referendum so people like you would be so frustrated with him you wouldn't vote Labour, and therefore Brexit would happen?
#VoteTactically
To sum up...
Refusing to #TacticalVote for Labour because you believe Corbyn secretly wants Brexit is bat-sh** insane, because you'd be helping him get what you believe he wants: Brexit.

.@SwapMyVote was a powerful #TacticalVoting tool in 2017 and helped to deny the Tories a majority.

@SwapmyVote Alice lives in Town X. Sheā€™s always voted for the Red Party, but they canā€™t win where she lives. If she wants a progressive MP to represent her, she needs to vote Yellow, because they can win. Itā€™s not ideal.
#TacticalVoting #SwapMyVote #StopTheCoup
@SwapmyVote Bob lives in Town Y. Heā€™s a lifelong Yellow Party voter, but they donā€™t stand a chance in Town Y. The Red Party can potentially win if all progressive voters get behind them though. Heā€™ll vote Red, although heā€™s not that keen.

You donā€™t have to love who youā€™re voting for, just preserve the country from the ā€œWe will rewrite the constitution to give ourselves autocratic powerā€ Vote Leave govt
#GTTO
Seriously people
Youā€™ll have the ability to push a Lab or Lib driver to steer the UK bus in another direction if needed
If you let the lying, lawbreaking, ethicsophobe VL Tories drive it off the cliff itā€™s over
#VoteTactically
And I donā€™t just mean Brexit cliff here.
I mean the constitutional cliff, the line between democracy and autocracy

#VoteTactically ---->> #GTTO

It's as simple as that.

Otherwise, this corrupt, extremist Tory party is going to critically damage the institutions that allow us to democratically oppose them. These are the institutions that make our home a democracy 1/5

dontsplittheremainvote.com
So if you're in a seat where #TacticalVoting will #GTTO, but you are a loyal party activist, PLEASE campaign in your nearest target seat instead of splitting the vote in your seat.

It is really motivating to help in a target seat where your efforts make a bigger impact. 2/5
And, while sharing power with other political parties may feel wrong to you, it's actually vital at this point that we do. And it's not just because of the immediate need to #GTTO

Cross-party policy making in areas where there is agreement makes for better governance. 3/5

Imagine it for a sec.

An election called to decide what to do next with Brexit. The majority vote NOT to go through with Brexit without a referendum but Boris Johnson becomes PM anyway and we have a decade of painful negotiations in DIRECT violation of the People's wishes.
Can you even begin to imagine what that would do to our country? Stuck for years, with our politics consumed by a divisive process the majority voted to avoid.
Or... You could #VoteTactically and avoid all that.

So @UKLabour claiming they can deliver Brexit next year without ā€œtrashingā€ the economy or the NHS

This is simply not true

Plain and simple

It is a lie

If a Labour MP or PPC claims this, call them out

I shall now explain below

A customs union will not get the UK frictionless trade

A CU will not get the UK access to the EU services market

Only full EU members get frictionless trade

Only EU/EEA members get access to the EU services market
#VoteTactically
#TacticalVoting
Only full EU membership will get the UK the things Corbyn promises in the @UKLabour Brexit deal

His proposed deal will not deliver what they say.

Basic knowledge of trading with the EU makes this clear.

Big clap for Jacob Rees-Mogg!! šŸ‘šŸæšŸ‘šŸæ
Say the people who burned to death in Grenfell Tower lacked common senseāœ…
Attack expertiseāœ…
Blame working people, even though the CLADDING put there by a council that didn't care about poor people made the 'Stay Put' policy a death sentenceāœ…
I mean, the f*** wow...
DON'T FORGET!
Jacob Rees-Mogg has a history of blaming working class people for not being able to survive the actions of rich people because rich people are 'better at managing' these things.

1. Register to vote!
2. If you vote for a party that has no chance of winning, it's a wasted vote.
3. If you live in a one party seat, make your vote count by persuading someone living *elsewhere* to change their vote or to vote when they weren't planning to.
#VoteTactically
4. Want to stop Brexit?
- Vote LibDem if they're in with a chance in the seat (or SNP in Scotland)
- Vote Labour as the "emergency parachute" if there's zero chance of the LibDems (or SNP) getting the seat. Be honest.
- Vote Green in Brighton Pavilion
5. If you're a student, you're allowed to register to vote at two addresses: your home address, and your term-time address. (You can only vote ONCE, but you can choose where you vote so long as you registered both addresses.)
