Not sure how to vote. In my area the Cons are going to romp home.

Vote for the candidate who you think will be the best MP, and whose party's policies you can live with.

Huge majorities don't vanish rapidly, but can be eroded over time. But I guess that's a result of growing momentum of support for a party/particular candidate, not attempts at tactical voting which is potentially too changeable

I'm in a similar position- our mp didn't even turn up to the hustings that had been rearranged twice to accommodate him (Ashford). Honestly you could dress a donkey in a blue suit and everyone would vote for it round here.

I will still vote, I will still write to the pompous cunt about everything he does that I object to and one day, somehow he will fuck off.

Should add there, our Conservative MP, who has been in the job for 40 years and is now almost 80 is standing down at this election, so it will be interesting to see how that affects the voting figures here.

He had become a local man over that time, busy with local issues and well liked. The new candidate is not local, yet I believe the Labour and LibDem candidates are.

Interesting times.

I have exactly the same problem here.

This seat has increasingly been a Conservative stronghold under the same MP for the last 40 years. In 2015 he had a majority of around 25,000, with Labour and the LibDems neck and neck for a poor third place, losing their deposits I think too. UKIP was in second with 13% of the vote.

I won't be voting Conservative as TM seems like a disaster waiting to happen. UKIP - definitely not!!! So I am tossing up between the LibDems and Labour. I WILL vote though.

Have a look at how each candidate stands on local issues if the main manifestos don't impress? Are any of the candidates doing a better job of campaigning for your vote?

Our tory MP was returned with 52% of the vote last time and I can't see it being any different this time. However I am damned if I am going to let him think it's his by right, that everyone supports him and his party and will be out there next week to remind him that he does not enjoy blanket support in this constituency. And one day there will be a suffiency of us that someone else will be elected! But it won't happen if we don't get out and vote.

You are never wasting a vote, ever. We are lucky in this country to have a vote, use it.
You may feel you can't change anything, and you may not like the likely candidate/party who will get in to your area, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't vote for whoever you believe in most or whoever you'd like to see get in.
Personally I'm not in favour of tactically voting although others would disagree. A vote is a way of registering your preferences, even if it's a lost cause. The only wasted vote is an unused vote......
