Got this propaganda through the door today. Looks like it's from labour, has Alastair Campbell's name attached.

Yet only after reading it several times and discussing with my DH did I realise it was Lib Dem propoganda.

How can this be within the rules?

I am shocked the lib Dems are allowed to do this? It looks like a legit labour plea. It's not.

This is really Bellow the belt lib Dems.

Can the papers pick up on this please and do something? This should not be allowed, surely?

He’s backing tactical voting as many MP’s are, it may be the only way to oust the Tories.

Farage is guilty of this too fwiw, he purposely withdrew Brexit party candidates in certain areas to let the Tories win.

It's orange and from Alistair Campbell who has been thrown out of the Labour Party. And is recommending voting LibDem in this election.

What's your problem with it?

Funnily enough, I just got something similar through the door! Its from the conservatives explaining that the only way to beat SNP in my constituency is to vote conservative. There was only 300 votes between SNP and conservative last time, the others were well behind SNP so they're saying vote consvertatice to beat SNP even if you dont believe in the Tories.

No the SNP can't stop Brexit but Sturgeon has openly said she'll get into bed with Corbyn to stop the Tories. He's pretending he won't form a coalition but we all know he will.

He doesn't have to form one. A Confidence and Supply Agreement like the one between the Conservatives made with those Neanderthals from Northern Ireland would do the trick without him breaking any promises he may have made about not forming a coalition.

The SNP would be well advised to stay away from a formal coalition in any Westminster government given the pasting the Lib Dems got after their moment of glory propping up Cameron.

I've had a similar message from the Brexit Party in my constituency urging me to vote Conservative, even though they aren't even standing here.

(I'm a centre-left voter, and certain Labour supporters are the worst when it comes to viciously tearing strips off other centre-left parties. All of our office is fairly left-leaning, but we all feel that behaviour like this thread from Labour supporters is so toxic an off-putting.)
