Seaton & Colyton MATTERS

Tactical voting site says vote Lib Dem in Tiverton & Honiton constituency and Claire Wright, Independent, in East Devon

Posted on October 31, 2019

The pro-EU tactical voting site getvoting.org says that voting Liberal Democrat in the Tiverton and Honiton constituency (which includes Seaton and Colyton) is the most likely way to get a pro-European MP and stop Brexit. In the 2017 election, Labour were second and the Lib Dems third, so the site’s recommendation may reflect the fact that Labour did worse than the Lib Dems in the 2019 local elections and the Lib Dems have general momentum in the polls. (Also Labour have not announced their candidate so we don’t know their stance on Brexit.)

The site recommends supporting Claire Wright is the tactical pro-EU vote in the East Devon constituency, where she was a close second in 2017 and where Independents easily outpolled the Lib Dems and Labour in the local elections.
