BREAKING: The Official TACTICAL VOTE to beat Reform in Gorton and Denton is
HANNAH SPENCER…
GREEN PARTY
…This is based on accurate and recent polling in the constituency.
Our tactical voting website is StopReformUK.vote
Formerly branded as StopTheTories.voteWe annihilated the Tory party with tactical voting in 2024 general election and Reform is EASILY beatable with tactical voting too.
The Canary CEO Steve Topple wrote about StopTheTories.vote in relation to the 2023 local elections:
Currently, the larger parties – along with other groups – hold the following numbers of seats:
- Tories – 3,363
- Labour – 2,140
- Lib Dems – 1,221
- Independents – 954
- Green Party – 240
- Residents Associations – 112
So, it’s surely time to try and boot some of these Tories out. While Labour is no opposition in the national government, in some local areas their councillors do good work. Meanwhile, the Green Party will be hoping to build on its success in 2022. However, if your primary goal in these local elections is to remove your Tory councillors, then one website can direct you to who best to vote for to do that.
The above figures were the seats being contested in the 2023 local elections. The overall picture is currently as follows (ignoring parties with under 25 seats):
Clearly there has been a big shift away from the Tories. What people like Vorderman want to avoid is a shift towards Reform UK.
‘A very real threat’
In her post, Vorderman finished:
As it stands, there is a very real risk of Reform winning in this seat as the rest of the vote is largely split between Labour and Green. We are urging Labour, Lib Dem, and other party supporters who do not want a Reform MP, to lend their vote to the Green Party this time. We have carried out extensive research, and it points to this being our best chance of stopping a very real threat from Reform.
