I live in a constituency which is a safe conservative seat. I support Labour but there is no chance of them winning here. Also, I get the sense that Ukip are becoming more popular here, sadly. So for the first time, I am thinking of voting tactically in order to register my concern for the NHS as I am really worried about it becoming increasingly privatised. Perhaps if the National Health Party got a few votes, then that would help to register voters' discontent. If I knew how to vote to disadvantage UKIP, I would do that.
Yet, I feel reluctant because I have always believed that you should vote for the party you want to win and not get involved in tactics and vote dealing etc. How else would your party win if it doesn't get the votes?!
One thing I am certain about is that I will do my 'duty' and vote tomorrow.
