I live In Guildford, we have a tory Mp, im anti-brexit Labour voter, the Lib Dems are said to be doing well in Guildford. Should I lend my vote to them for this election and go with my head or go with my heart and vote for Labour.

Definitely vote tactically in that situation, why wouldn't you?

Sorry turns out our former conservative Mp is standing as independent. Dont pay much attention to politics until General election.

I’ve voted in a fair few elections and often vote tactically depending on where I am living and the situation at the time. The way our system is set up personally I would vote Lib Dem In your situation.

Everyone will be tactically voting. This election isn't about who will run the country it is about Brexit

I'm voting tactically too- it says Labour is the best one in my area.

I can't bring myself to. Mine suggests LD, who have shown themselves to be neither Liberal nor Democratic.

I am generally a Libdem, but I don’t want to vote for them as I believe that the majority of people voted to Leave ( I voted remain.) have never voted Labour and our MP ( Tory) usually has a large majority. I don’t like Boris Johnson and so I’ve no idea how to Vote.
I might just vote Independent. Albeit to tactically vote for my own conscience.
I would just go with what your heart says.

My tactical vote site says vote SNP but we have a very good Labour MP so I say bollocks to it.
