Several #TacticalVoting websites are claiming they're responsible for the tactical voting success in 2017 GE. Simply untrue. It was the then Best for Britain campaign & team which I launched, raised funds for & led. All these sights are going to split the remain tactical vote
Voters are far more volatile than in 2017 & the Brexit Party vote share is much higher than the UKIP vote in 2017 so their pact with the Tories will have more effect. In the 1997 tactical vote about 30% of the vote went the wrong way - we can't afford for that to happen
To wipe out a Tory majority we need more than 6.5 m to tactically vote. So whilst a website is important - engagement, reach & trust. PR/ media covergae is also vital. In EU Elections RemainUnited.org tactical voting campaign had 11.3 engagements & 1.47 on the website.
To do the best possible job requires, complex expensive work, a range of experts & a winning track record. Just using data from 2010, 2015, 2017 GEs & polling is not enough. Nothing is guaranteed but must try to iron out as many wrinkles in #tacticalvoting advice.
I plead with the clever people popping up with sites to think about working on turn out, registration, debunking the nonsense the Tory's are spouting, youth vote so we have a joined up strategy that wins our collective goal. Anything less is tribalism, deflection & self-interest
