The tide has been shifting for a little while now. Shamelessly copying and pasting a post I made on the last General Election thread...
I really don't believe any vote is wasted now.
Here in Findon we come under East Worthing and Shoreham for some reason. You'd have always said that is Tory through and through. However, here's how the Labour share of the vote has changed over recent elections:
2010: 16.7%
2015: 19.5%
2017: 39.3%
If people thought "a vote for Labour is wasted" in those previous elections, and put their X somewhere else, then we wouldn't have the position we have today where Labour could have a real chance (if they had a leader of any merit anyway).

Must be a new thing. I don't recall Labour having any councillors in Worthing.
