BATTLE VOTE
Tactical voting for Lib Dem and Labour supporters
Check if your vote really matters
Data source: Observer 2 May 2010
Why check if you are in a marginal constituency?
"Over the past month Reuters has commissioned Ipsos MORI to carry out four surveys in Labour/Conservative marginals, so-called "battleground constituencies" where Labour-held seats would fall to the Conservatives with a swing of between 5% and 9%. Nick Clegg's surprise runaway victory at the first leaders' debate changed all this, however. Now, there is a strong possibility not of a Tory gain in these seats, but a win for the Lib Dems.
But few of the people who live in a marginal constituency of this kind know what power they could wield, maybe as few as 30%. The challenge to the political parties is to let their supporters in these seats know by next Thursday how important their votes could be." How to vote tactically Observer 2 May 2010
