New poll shows tactical voting only way to keep Tories from returning in our area
A YouGov survey, the most detailed in five years, predicts that Conservatives will retain just 169 seats as Labour sweeps to power with 385. However our new constituency, Honiton & Sidmouth, is slated to be captured by the Tories, who would oust Richard Foord, our excellent new MP.
In my opinion the poll doesn’t take proper account of local conditions, since Labour and Reform are allocated more votes – based on national trends – then is likely to happen.
But it shows that there should be no complacency: if we want our area to be part of the big change which is coming when the Tories are ousted. we need to rally behind Richard. Every Labour or Green vote will risk Simon Jupp taking over.
