    the observer should absolutely not be promoting anyone who was a tory up until 3 months ago in any 'tactical' capacity, least of all one who tried to deploy scurrilous nonsense about grenfell to smear his opponenthttps://twitter.com/SamGyimah/status/1203591953524375552 …

        whatever your opinion on tactical voting as a practice (i don't think much of it at all, but concede in certain instances it might have its uses) the way it's been deployed this GE has been so nakedly dishonest and manipulative, it's gone beyond the '£350m for the nhs' bus shit

        i can't emphasise enough how it's basically asking labour voters to throw their vote away for a party they don't support, which will, in numerous cases, result in tory wins - in order to perpetuate these twin narratives of 'the lib dem fightback' and 'corbyn labour losses'

        fucking hate this sabermetrics 'moneyball'-applied-to-politics tactical vote conception of democracy as something that should only be cynically gamed, and not about giving a popular mandate to policy ideas. rotten shit that treats you as a metric to be maximised, not a person

        yeah especially as the voting models haven't yet confirmed who to vote in Kesington yet, I think they're leaning Labour though

        I understand the intentions behind these but there are at least 3 glaring errors that I just spotted within a cursory glance at this @ObserverUK - I'm outlining them below and I really think you need to amend them. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/dec/08/tactical-voting-guide-2019-keep-tories-out-remain-voter-general-election …
