GetVoting.org goes live
Apologies to all those
avidly awaiting for Election Section to ping into your inbox yesterday
morning, we were busy presenting our tactical voting recommendations
to a room full of journalists. We promise it won’t happen again. But
the good news is that GetVoting.org is now live! Make sure to check it out to
see who you should vote for in your area to get rid of this rotten
Government and stop hard-right, Brexit-backing, populists like Farage
from getting a foothold in Parliament.
Never before
It was a busy day at B4B
HQ, with the team also dropping brand-spanking-new polling and MRP
analysis showing an unprecedented appetite for tactical voting in
almost every constituency across Britain. That’s right. At least a
third of voters in a whopping 558 constituencies say they would vote
tactically to change the Government. In 234 seats this jumps to 40%
and in 31 seats, more than half are ready to vote for someone other
than their first preference.
Crooked contract
In much less exciting news, Reform UK Party Ltd dropped their
election manifesto...oh wait, sorry…their election contract. Farage’s
plans were questioned as “unserious”, given that they require £141
billion more spending. To put that number into perspective, it is
three times more than Liz Truss promised in her economy-crashing,
mortgage-hiking disaster of a mini-budget. Beyond this, the contract
contained all the usual nasty nativist stuff and really just drove
home the importance of tactical voting. An unexpected silver lining
for us, I guess?
Campaign continues
For other parties, the campaign continued as normal, with visits to
a range of locations across the country. This, of course, included Ed
Davey who found himself on a beach in Devon building sandcastles. He
really got stuck in, taking off his shoes and socks, but not before
making it known that they’re “not too smelly”. Good to know!
Timely reminder
Please please please don’t forget,
today is your last opportunity to register to vote in the upcoming
General Election. You have until 23:59 tonight. If you haven’t
already, you can do so now on the Government website. And on top of that, the deadline to apply
for a postal vote is 5pm tomorrow on Wednesday 19 June. Again,
applications can be found on the Government website.
