Will tactical voting have a big effect on the UK General Election?

It has been a big talking point in the lead up. In England they're talking about voting for whoever has the best chance of beating the Tory candidate in each constituency, be they Labour, lib dem or something else. In Scotland the constitutional question is resulting in tactical voting with unionists voting for the Tories and on the nationalist side the Greens so far won't stand for 6 Scottish seats in order to improve the SNP's chances.

In Scotland not much at all because therdia are exaggerating the unionist swing. Tories are a distant second and there are Labour voters who would never vote Tory. One or two more seats is the max for them.

In England it will have some effect but probably not enough to keep the Tories out.

@Burnley123: Yeah but anything the "Scottish" Tories get will be played up to be a landslide victory for them by the media 😂.

@thatscottishguy: I read Craig Murray on that. They got half the votes of the SNP but nobody mentioned the numbers.
