If someone tells you to "vote Labour everywhere" that's not a "tactic", it's partisan. A general election isn't a contest fought nationally. Who cares about the national vote share? It's irrelevant except for the history books. What matters is *650 individual results*.
1. If the LibDems and Labour are both in real contention in your constituency, vote LibDem.
2. If the LibDems are honest to goodness cross your heart not in contention, vote Labour.
3. If neither are in contention then vote Brexit Party*, or vote your heart on the day knowing it won't change the result, but do other things instead like persuade people you know elsewhere in the UK to vote tactically.

(*they just might beat the Tories in a super-Leave area.)
If you're thinking "Ugh! Brexit Party?! What the heck?" then please hear me out...

If and only if the two possible winning candidates are Tory or Brexit party, which is better for the big picture?

I suggest BP because that denies the Tories an MP & makes a majority less likely.
