Serious question:
Is it better to have the Brexit Party *win* a few seats if it reduces the probability of the Tories being the largest party and getting first bash at forming a Government?
Upside: Tories hurt.
Downside: Brexit Party MPs and even more media coverage for them.

Follow-up questions:
Does that make the tactical vote in a seat where Labour and the LibDems aren't in contention "vote Brexit Party"?
And does that mean you can safely offer to swap votes with a BP supporter, vote BP in your seat and *hope* they keep their pledge elsewhere?

TL/DR version: what is the better outcome for an individual seat, when looking at the national picture?
- It goes to the Tories
- It goes to the Brexit Party
(Assume there's no third option.)
