4.7.24

 

Remember to vote, tactically (a message for the progressive among you)

 


Happy Election Day!

The above shows an average of five recent polls for my constituency, Edinburgh North and Leith, and comes courtesy of Stop the Tories. Clearly, the Tories have no chance, but I will still be voting tactically. I am a member of the Greens. But if everyone who intends to vote Green instead votes SNP, the SNP will beat Labour (rather than the other way around). While the SNP has made some awful missteps of late, they are the best hope to push Labour toward the more progressive policies from which Starmer has dragged them away. My tactical vote goes to the SNP.

I was very sad when the UK rejected a switch to Preferential voting (STV = single transferrable vote). No voting system is perfect, but STV lets people express their true preference without wasting their vote.
