So looking forward to the Tory wipeout. My Labour MP is a two faced fecker and had a 70% vote share last time. So I have the freedom to vote with my heart. My biggest fear is that millions think the Tories are scum, but somehow think immigrants caused all the problems and politics will become a free for all for hatred.

Well, knowing your location, it would have had to have been a postal vote as I’m pretty sure there is no voting station near you. It’s too late for that.

You could watch some Kyle Walker-Peters videos instead and do some stat diving on him?

I'm a big non-fan of tactical voting.

As far as I'm concerned it is a plague on both the Tory and Labour Houses. A Plague on all anti-Single Market Houses in fact.

In my constituency it is neck and neck between Tory and Labour. And neither got my vote. Lol.

Maybe the loser in the neck and neck race will consider why they failed, and registering my disapproval aids them in their search for answers.

Luckily a tactical vote in my area is also my vote of choice.

Me too, are you still East Worthing and Shoreham ? Could be a momentous and historic day today.

Indeed. Could be great.

Let’s do this!
Having lived in other constituencies where there was little chance of making a difference for most of my life, this will be the first time I will be voting for the candidate I want to win with any expectation that they might.

I don't get this, your voting has allowed others to make the choice?

Tom Rutland will win, but he won't be getting my vote.

I just can't support someone parachuted in, with no connection to the area, seemingly with more interest in Westminster than West Sussex.

The largely copy-and-pasted website for his current campaign from his failed attempt to be the Labour candidate in Wycombe was the final straw for me.

He won't need my vote to win though, and Labour won't need EWAS to have a stonking great majority in the Commons.

[Politics] - Does it matter where constituency candidates come from?

Liz from Labour bravely made her way up my drive a few evenings ago to ask me about my voting intentions. I say bravely because Henry, my large Labrador, was barking quite ferociously at her whilst I sat on the doorstep dripping with sweat having just completed a run. Henry's a complete softy...

I’d rather vote for someone parachuted in who shares my beliefs than someone who has worked in the NHS for 15 years and not only thinks the Tories are the right answer, but wants to represent them. Does she pay no attention at work?

Although this website indicates that I don’t need to vote tactically, I think I still will, just to be safe.

I don't know - have you asked her?

It's often easier to influence and fix things from the inside.

Beyond all that - there are more than two candidates standing...

A few already saying so and so will definitely win here so I'm voting for someone else. Either vote tactically to oust the scumbags or make absolutely sure that the party you want to win do so by voting for them - don't leave it for someone else, that's exactly what the scumbags want you to do. Every vote counts.

Did you actually speak to him? I did and put those points to him, he was saying (the cynical amongst you can choose not to believe) that he was here for the long haul....I'm voting Labour for the bigger picture here...The Tories need to be told how far wrong they have gone over the last 10 years at the very least...Someone else needs a chance, and that only chance is Labour. So there is where my vote goes...

Ultimately the decision to make Tom Rutland the official Labour candidate came down to a vote of Labour Party members. Of the candidates on the shortlist he won that vote. Thats democracy, the voters liked what they saw and heard

No need for the sour grapes, you were probably looking for any excuse not to vote Labour anyway.
