Looks like nearly 60 percent of labour voters would give their vote to greens and liberals in order to defeat reform in a straight fight they look like losing to reform

It works the other way of course as reform voters would vote tory to defeat labour but its about 30 percent

63 to 77 percent of labour voters would switch to green or lib dem to defeat reform or a reform tory alliance

30 percent of labour voters would switch to tory locally to defeat reform if they looked like winning that seat

I couldnt care less if I was represented by a tory mp if voting tory had weakened reform , kept out the tories nationally and led to a uk progressive alliance

The end game will be a straight Right Wing v Progressive fight and I personally think there will be more problems with tactical voting on the right than on the Progressive side. Tell everyone you know to vote tactically whatever their allegiances because the important aim for sanity is to KEEP OUT THE TRASH!

Absolutely

Thats what the polling seems to suggest

I am voting plaid in may to try and keep out reform but at a general election it might be lib dem or green or labour again if they have the best chance of defeating the far right

"Far right" now! Why do you never talk about policies, just these daft, emotive labels.

Do you know any policies, Sludge?

But they are far right! What's wrong with calling a spade a spade Doug?

Absolutely! It's the most important mission for all of us to prevent falling into the abyss.

I've asked you before to name any far-right policies and you couldn't.

I do, I just think it's wildly misused and misunderstood term as well as being arrogant

You definitely don't. It's the diametric opposite of "conservative" small "c" which means reactionary and upholding traditional vested interests. "Progressive" means new, vibrant and more socially inclusive. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you can dismiss it.

I know what people who use it think it means. My point is that it is often not very progressive at all. As in, little progress is made in terms of a peaceful, successful, happy, healthy society, or however else anyone may judge it.
