Tactical voting can win the election for Remain and/or people's vote friendly parties.

However, the tactic can't be "vote Labour everywhere" or "vote LibDem everywhere". That's not a tactic. That's partisan politics.

So if you're advocating either, you're not being tactical.

And if that's the case, at least be honest about it.

Don't try to dress partisanship up as a tactic. Because you're cheating yourself - and others too.

Brexit is bigger than party loyalty. If you don't agree, that's fine. But again, just be honest about it.

And if you're planning to vote for a party that can't *possibly* win the seat under any circumstances, that's fine too - but it's not tactical.

So for example a Green vote in most seats. That's a political statement. But it's not a tactic. Not when it comes to stopping Brexit.

That also goes for pressure group parties like the Women's Equality Party. They're worthy political causes. But a vote for them *in this particular election cycle* hinders the Remain cause if it could have been deployed tactically instead. That's fine. But again, just be honest.

I think what I'm trying to say, in short, is:
"Vote for whoever you like, of course. But if it's not for somebody that can help us get closer to Remain, don't try to dress it up differently. And don't try to convince others under false pretenses. Be honest."

Finally: Labour are not a Remain party. That's very clear. But they're also not a Leave party. Not yet, anyway. And at least they have promised a second referendum. So they're a good "backup choice" if you can't further the Remain cause directly in your constituency.
