Joke as we must that the Tories could squeeze 2 more Prime Ministers into office before Christmas, we must accept that they will probably form an uneasy confederacy behind Sunak. A period of stability is now essential to them if they are to stand a snowballs chance in Hell of...
..winning another period in government at the next General Election. Given their current standing in the polls I could forgive anyone for thinking that this must be a forlorn hope on their part. They will suffer deserved annihilation and humiliation at the ballot box; we hope.
But the Conservative mindset mostly outside of government at the centre of the hive does not function on the principle of accepting honest defeat, they still think they can win!
They are determined and ruthless individuals at home in the boardroom of Global banks and businesses.

They've already restricted voting rights, gerrymandered seats = there MUST be #TacticalVoting for whichever local party can best #UnseatATory to save lives/species/the planet as in June.
Then a #ProgressiveCoalition + immediate #VotingReform=PR to make every vote count.

The eternal seesaw of Fascist Tories/hard left or outright communist Labour can't be trusted to unpick all the damage done these last 12 years, so no single party can be trusted to try. Lab+LibDem+Greens should share the task + work together to get the job started =undo the havoc
such as rebuilding the NHS/care system, reinstating national utilities, replacing fossil fuels, restoring farming/fisheries, fair taxation, regaining international trust, banning 'thinktanks'/dark money, restoring transparency/accountability, strict Nolan principles, banning ....
Tory MPs: 1)#traindrivers are not on strike; 2)the voters created their own #TacticalVoting scheme + executed it because they wanted to spell out just how much they want anything but #ToryLiars; 3) we like our #HumanRights...leave them alone; 4) loyalty to a liar will end careers
5) smashing things up/ defunding, then claim to be fixing stuff is not a sustainable strategy and we see what you're doing.#SaveOurNHS

Citizens of #NorthShropshire. What can you do to deprive Tories of power?
1. Pressure oppo parties to co-operate. To make cross-party plan based on local voting behaviour & needs #ProgressiveAlliance.
2. Campaign for tactical voting. Ideally combined with 1.

Local people can come together to:
1. Encourage @NShropshire_CLP @DemsNorth @NShropsGreens to co-operate. (P.S. don't be put off by @UKLabour saying their party rules don't let them. Time for excuses is over).
2. Encourage people to vote tactically.

My own alignment puts me in the area of Chomsky
These so called "left" SWP/Lexit types would rather have another 5/10/15 years of Tory rule if they can't have a 100% SWP/Lexit run Labour Govt majority run by them
So will condemn us to continued increasingly fascist Tory Govt

- The continuing conviction of some libdems/some Labour that they can win an absolute majority (aka #SwinsonSyndrome or #CorbynComplex)
*They can't. This is the decision now: keep shouting in the wilderness or gain power with others who share your values if not your policies.

Power is the only way to forge change and having the - well, power- to implement policy.

This is so full of erroneous statements and assumptions. āThe issue of the vital list vote needs to be discussed & debated until a consensus is reached.ā Sadly, thereās been too much uninformed discussion and a total failure to look at what modelling the data predicts.
To state that the SNP canāt win any more list seats is false: if itās percentage goes up, so will the list seats: the reason there were only 4 in 2016 was because the list was 5% below the constituency %. If they matched, the SNP would have doubled itās list seats.
To state SNP canāt win in Glasgow is false. Latest Panelbase poll predicts seats in Glasgow and Central (YouGov poll has SNP on two seats in Central). If thereās enough defection of SNP votes to list parties, those SNP seats will go to Labour instead (as well as H&I seat to LDs).

With Labour politicians gaslighting the public like this I don't think the Labour party deserves to exist anymore.
You are all too politically tribal, including you.
Labour have deliberately given us a far right government and a very damaging Brexit.

The main issue was a Labour policy of a GE before a referendum.
Keir Starmer lost the referendum before GE argument in the shadow cabinet meeting.
The LibDems should not have gone for a GE either and didn't vote for it in the end.

You Gaslight us on the issue being the LibDems with a GNU.
The issues was the independent Tory MPs and support for Corbyn.
Greive thought that he had the numbers for Margaret Beckett or John Bercow.
This gaslighting by you and others is why Labour deserve to die now.

This evening I set out to assess how well my tactical recommendations had done in the 187 constituencies I had made recommendations for #GE2019
I got 9 wrong, but none that mattered - as I explain here

But that's not the really interesting point
The interesting one is where did the sites differ in their recommendations, and did *that* matter
I added constituencies that I'd not assessed, coming to a total of 227 constituencies for this thread

I was wrong in just
Eddisbury (rec Lib Dem, should have been Labour)
Isle of Wight (rec Green, should have been Labour)

Tactical voting #CitiesofLondonAndWestminster
Polls & sites seem to suggest vote for Lib, not Lab - data shows there will be a Tory win without strong Lab movement to LibDems now.
In our strong Remain constituency, make your Remain vote count - however hard to cross that box.

A serious threat: Cities of London & Westminster will end up without an MP that reflects strong Remain constituency, by a split vote.
Most #tacticalvoting polls now advise LibDem @ChukaUmunna.
Get closer to another ref & deprive Johnson of a majority. Strong switching needed.

Whatever your usual voting habits, tactical voting really matters now.
It can stop a heavy Johnson majority - or unseat him/Raab.
This isnāt only about Brexit, but the country we become, as Johnson cracks down on the institutions that hold him to account. We can stop that.

Right, as @UBFriccardo correctly says, if no one knows what's actually going on, make a clear recommendation and stick to it.
So here you go:

I want to share a new paper. Its relevant to #GE2019. The findings are quite exemplary of the misguidedness of much of economic & social policy under the #ConservativeParty. It should be a harbinger to wary voters: there is more of the same under the Tories & with #Brexit. 1/..
The short summary: the reform to housing benefit from 2011 onwards was intended to save the public purse hundreds of millions. But quite the reverse happened: not only did it create huge amounts of misery and agony, it also ended up not saving the public much money at all. 2/..
What happened? From April 2011 onwards, local housing allowance was massively cut from covering up to the median level of rents, to only cover up to the 30th percentile of market rents. Here is a map of how this affected households in terms of expected losses per week. 3/..

Good, when a tweet brings out a load of Tory & Brexit ranters - nice and easy to block. Interesting, among the nutters screeching "bloody leftie, EU traitor, pity your students" = number who denounce my membership of / support for Labour. Neither of which exists. #TacticalVoting
Best of all? Those who think Johnson will get us out of EU then it's done and dusted... Sorry, but if that happens, campaign to rejoin starts immediately. And it will happen. So your wee Brexit is just a temporary waste of time, money and energy: please pause over that thought...
