The tactical voting website says they are voting Labor in Bristol Central and Sheffield Hallam

Labor is the best party to vote for tactically to ensure the Tories do not win in two key seats where the party has been seen as vulnerable to the Greens and Liberal Democrats, a group of election campaign.

Best for Great Britain website GetVoting.org listed Labor as best placed to defeat the Tories in Sheffield Hallam and Bristol Central – both targets for the Lib Dems and the Greens respectively.

These recommendations are based on a combination of MRP survey data, local factors and the party of the incumbent MP.

Survation’s MRP poll, cited for tactical voting suggestions, predicts Labor will win Bristol Central with 55.82% of the vote, well ahead of the Greens in second place on 23.71%.

Bristol Central has long been eyed by the Greens for a second parliamentary seat, where co-leader Carla Denyer is leading a campaign to unseat shadow frontbencher Thangam Debbonaire.

GetVoting.org’s recommendations will likely come as a relief to Labor campaigners in the constituency, just weeks after the Greens were successful in the city’s local elections.

Nick Clegg’s old seat of Sheffield Hallam – long seen as a Labour-Lib Dem fringe – also sees Labor listed as decisive favorites for the tactical vote, with the party expecting a forecast 50.92% according to polling data.

However, tactical voting advice recommends voting Green in three constituencies – Brighton Pavilion, Waveney Valley and North Herefordshire.

But Labor First chairman Keith Dibble previously said LabourList: “Every vote for Labor is an endorsement for Keir Starmer, so we should maximize the Labor vote in every seat.

“I warn voters about the dangers of tactical voting. There is no guarantee what the smaller parties would do in a hung parliament.”

Tom Gray, the Labor candidate hoping to unseat the Greens from Brighton Pavilion, also said recently LabourList“The people of Brighton should simply vote with their heads to bring about the change we so desperately need.”

However, not all seats received a recommendation, with some constituencies considered to have such an overwhelming lead for the opposition parties that no suggestion was made to unseat the Conservatives.

Despite a bitter battle between Labor and its now-ousted former leader Jeremy Corbyn, no recommendation is being offered for Islington North – where the party is again expected to take more than 50% of the vote.
