Today in equal opportunities reminders - it isn't correct to describe many votes cast in an STV election, as we use for Scottish Councils, as being "tactical". It's not impossible to vote tactically under STV, especially if someone confuses their system, but it is harder.
A tactical vote is, broadly speaking, one which doesn't match a given voter's genuine preference, often because of a perception that their preferred party "can't win". FPTP is well known for inducing an element of tactical voting, given only one candidate can win the seat.
So the classical example would be a voter prefers the Triangle Party, but they are weak in their constituency. That voter really dislikes the Circle Party who hold the seat, but the Square Party came close to beating them last time, so they vote Square.

That's tactical.
