So, we've got a general election and everyone

is scrambling around looking at tactical voting.

coming from because we've got different websites,

different sources making different recommendations.

So we, today, are going to talk about which of these you

can maybe have more faith in, which less.

We're going to be your tactical voting guides.

So, I've been getting loads of text messages from friends,

or even colleagues have been asking me who to vote for.

I feel like I have so much power that I shouldn't have.

live in marginal constituencies and what they've been doing

hearing different, conflicting answers from these websites.

Labour and the Conservatives - haven't really been dominating

Now, we've looked at polling data in the last two years

but really we could go back quite a bit more in history

and what we would see - let's say this is like,

50 per cent of the vote - is that the Conservatives

have been jostling for the top position for a while.

More or less, this is what's been happening.

We have the Conservatives at 42 per cent in the most recent

poll of polls and Labour are at 29 per cent.

The Lib Dems have sort of re-emerged from obscurity

for the party that is closest behind the Tories in your seat.

Now, that may have been Labour last time,

but if they've gone down a bit and the Lib Dems have gone up,

So, luckily for them there are loads of websites

So let's see if I can just grab another sheet.

Another thing that's confusing is their names,

I'll do a different colour and this one - tactical-vote.co.uk,

getvoting.org, and finally, on the Remain side,

find one pro, sort of pro-Brexit tactical voting site, which

I found that one quite amusing because the results were

something like 360 seats for the Conservatives, 160 for Brexit,

then 60 for Ukip, but then one Independent, one Labour.

I mean, if everyone follows their advice then

That's the thing, I guess this is the point.

It's hard to know where to look and which you should
