Chaps I fear you missed the point about tactical voting.

It's not a simple case of voting for BrExit party

You need to look at your specific constituency in the link I provided (copied again below) and determine which party normally wins. If that party is the Tories, then vote Tory, DO NOT vote BP and split the vote.

If the party that normally wins is Labour, then look at how close the Tories are behind them. If it's a close thing then vote Tory to boost them for the win. If Tories are normally way behind Labour then vote BrExit Party along with other Leavers.

and so on.

Make your vote count,

Don't split the Tory/BP vote.

In truth one would hope that the BP doesn't stand in the constituencies that are normally Tory safe seats to ensure there is no split vote.

Re: Quick Poll

There's a lot of confusion out there! Listening to different phone-in programmes there are some Brexiteers who are tribally Labour who say they could never vote Tory, they don't like JC, so they will vote LibDem!!!!!!

Like others have said, have wondered what the point is in voting only to be ignored BUT even if after this next election I decide it's not worth the bother, it is essential to take part in the upcoming one cos not to is to play into the hands of Remainers.

My MP is a staunch Brexiteer, he has responded to each of my emails on the subject, and has a huge majority so I will vote Tory in support of him.
