Here is your voting recommendation for Thursday's EU Election vote. First, 3 things

1 - Get out and vote. Take a friend. Make a facebook event. Turnout is a winner!

2 - Be confident. Less than 500,000 smart Remain votes across the UK could change the face of this election. 6 million of us signed the #RevokeA50 petition. You've got this. Use the hashtag #RemainVoter.

3 - Sharing is caring. Share this recommendation for your area on your Facebook and Twitter feed. Include @RemainVoter and we will RT.

It's that simple. This is how we win.

East Midlands - Vote Green

Current polling predicts: 1 Remainer party will win 1 seat
Smart Voting indicates: A further seat can be gained for a second pro-European party.

The Liberal Democrats look secure in winning a single seat. The next best placed pro-European party to win is the Greens. A Greens gain will displace a pro-Brexit party, and lock them out of the East Midlands region.

Remain Voter only recommend when the number of Remain seats increase and Leave seats decrease.

Eastern England - Vote Green

Current Polling predicts: 2 Remainer seats
Smart Voting indicates: We can gain an additional seat, bringing the total to 3.

The Liberal Democrats look secure in this region, but the Greens are fighting for last seat against the Brexit Party. RemainVoter.com recommends voting Green to secure a Remainer seat in East of England, blocking Farage.

Remain Voter only recommend when the number of Remain seats increase and Leave seats decrease.

London - Vote Change UK

Current Polling predicts: 3 Remainer seats across two parties.
Smart Voting indicates: We can gain a 4th seat for a third pro-European party.

Lib Dem and Green seats look secure, so RemainVoter.com recommends vote Change UK to gain a 4th Remain seat in London. With Labour being non-committal, this means pro-Brexit parties cannot claim the capital.

We only recommend when the number of Remain seats increase and Leave seats decrease.

North East Vote Liberal Democrat

Current Polling predicts 0 Remain seats
Smart Voting indicates: National vote share assist

With only 3 seats, the only way a Remainer can get elected is if we all co-operate. To bring a single seat within reach of a Remain party, RemainVoter.com recommends voting Liberal Democrat, and bringing a friend to the polling station. This will increase the key indicator of national vote share for Remain parties: don't give up.

We only recommend when the number of Remain seats increase and Leave seats decrease.

North West vote Green

Current Polling predicts: 1 Remainer seat is secure
Smart Voting indicates: 1 more Remain seat can be added

LDs look likely to win a seat. And just a tiny movement from Lab and CUK voters to Green will give Remainers an extra seat. With 3 sitting Lab MEP retaining seats, smart voting will deliver a strong pro-European delegation.

We only recommend when the number of Remain seats increase and Leave seats decrease.

Northern Ireland vote your preference: Alliance; SDLP; Green; Sinn Fein

In order to vote for these Remain parties in Northern Ireland, it is important NOT to add a number against any other party.

Under Single Transferable Vote, if you don't put a number next to a party, your vote can never be counted for them.
Scotland vote Liberal Democrats to win 2 Remain seats

Current polling predicts: 3 Remain seats
Smart Voting indicates: 5 Remain seats

Scotland is interesting! Recent polling shows SNP confidently gaining 3 seats with undecided Labour voters blocking a 4th. RemainVoter.com modelling shows LDs have the momentum to win a seat while helping the SNP win the 4th seat. So smart voting can win a seat from a pro-Brexit party while capitalising on Labour's lack of commitment to their majority Remain membership.

We only recommend when the number of Remain seats increase and Leave seats decrease.

South East vote Change UK

Current Polling predicts: 3 Remainer seats for 2 pro-EU parties
Smart Voting indicates: We can gain a further seat for a third pro-EU party

The Liberal Democrats look secure on 2 seats and the Greens on 1 seat. Neither will get another, so vote Change UK to get a 4th Remainer seat in the Southeast.

We only recommend when the number of Remain seats increase and Leave seats decrease.

South West vote Green

Current Polling predicts: 1 Remainer seat is secure
Smart Voting indicates: We can gain 1 more Remainer MEP

The Liberal Democrat seat is secure, so vote Green to get a second Remain seat in the Southwest. Smart Voting returns a sitting MEP who is highly visible promoting the EU and combatting corruption.

We only recommend when the number of Remain seats increase and Leave seats decrease.

Wales vote Liberal Democrats

Current Polling predicts: 1 Remainer seat is secure
Smart Voting indicates: 1 more Remain seat can be added

Plaid Cymru is set to win one seat in Wales. With smart voting, the Liberal Democrats can also win a seat without encroaching on Plaid Cyrmu. That gain will mean half the MEPs in Wales are outright Remain supporters.

We only recommend when the number of Remain seats increase and Leave seats decrease.

West Midlands vote Green

Current Polling predicts: 1 Remainer seat is secure
Smart Voting indicates: 1 more Remain seat can be added

It looks like the Liberal Democrats will win one seat. With Remainers voting Green, we can add a second Remain supporting MEP in the West Midlands, with Labour losing out because of its lack of commitment to their majority Remain membership.

We only recommend when the number of Remain seats increase and Leave seats decrease.

Yorkshire and the Humber vote Green

Current Polling predicts: 1 Remainer seat is secure
Smart Voting indicates: 1 more Remain seat can be added

The Liberal Democrats are set to win a seat. If enough people vote Green, they too will win a seat. Winning a Green seat in Yorkshire and the Humber will send a strong message that there is demand for Remain throughout the country.

We only recommend when the number of Remain seats increase and Leave seats decrease.

That’s useful, thanks

BlackeyedGruesome · 19/05/2019 21:43

Absolutely can not vote green in my region because of their dodgy decisions locally.

But yes it is a helpful post.

StealthPolarBear · 19/05/2019 21:45

Mine is lib dem
I got an email yesterday to say the email would be sent first thing this morning. The email actually arrived this afternoon. Are the people who run it politicians :o

StealthPolarBear · 19/05/2019 21:46

I also assumed it would be more tailored but I suppose it depended on response rates to them

Stilltalkstotrees · 19/05/2019 21:47

Based on recent polling, I don’t agree with their findings.

aIways · 19/05/2019 21:49

Was looking for a thread on this. Got the email too, interested to hear other people's thoughts. I'm SE and was going to vote Lib Dem but admittedly am not knowledgable with this kind of vote procedure (E.g. not FPTP).

Stilltalkstotrees · 19/05/2019 22:08

Is that South East or London? South East recent poll shows BXP winning the last seat with 7.5%. If LD increase their share from 21% to 23% they would take that last seat. Green would have to increase from 11.1% to 15.2% to take it.

It really isn’t simple - and the polls could be off anyway. I recommend voting either LD or Green, whichever best fits your political view - but don’t waste a vote on CHUK.

Nonnymum · 19/05/2019 22:11

Shame I didn't see this earlier I have already voted by post

Nonnymum · 19/05/2019 22:14

Thank you for posting though. I got the email today but for some reason I couldn't read it. Unfortunately I filled. In my postal. Vote just before I read this post so voted linden when the advice was to vote Green

TheAssemblywomen · 19/05/2019 22:15

I'll be voting Green. As per advice.

Catquest1 · 19/05/2019 22:21

Interesting. The Remain United website indicates voting differently to what is advised in the OP. Is this different advice? Or has the website not updated its advice?

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 19/05/2019 22:23

Whilst the Greens call women non-men they won’t be getting my vote. The erasure of women matters even more to me than Brexit.

icannotremember · 19/05/2019 22:25

Idk, I'm north west and I am doubtful a green vote here is the best idea... I'm going to have to look into this more carefully. I was planning to hold my nose and vote lib dem.

Stilltalkstotrees · 19/05/2019 22:40

This is useful - three advice sites on one graphic.

TwelveLeggedWalk · 19/05/2019 22:44

Is there nowhere that does this by constituency? I live in a very Cons pro-Brexit area, but am expecting not many will vote on Thursday, so would genuinely like to make sure our votes count. Not sure where to put them though!

Stilltalkstotrees · 19/05/2019 22:47

Constituencies are larger for the EP elections and are as stated elsewhere in this thread (ie South East, South West, London, etc).

Oakenbeach · 19/05/2019 22:47

I think this ‘second guessing’ is well intentioned but very flawed. It only works if significant numbers of people take its advice, but if significant numbers do that the advice and, say, swap their votes to Green from Lib Dem because the Lib Dem’s seat is “in the bag”, that seat is no longer in the bag, and the whole thing unravels.

pikapikachu · 19/05/2019 22:49

There's is a postcode finder that tells you which constituency you're in. I'm glad I checked because I was reading the wrong area's advice.

Stilltalkstotrees · 19/05/2019 22:50

I agree Oakenbeach

It really isn’t simple - and the polls could be off anyway. I recommend voting either LD or Green, whichever best fits your political view - but don’t waste a vote on CHUK.

TwelveLeggedWalk · 19/05/2019 22:52

Sorry, post code checker is what I meant. Found now and plan formulated!

Oakenbeach · 19/05/2019 23:04

If people’s principle aim to promote Remain, they absolutely need to coalesce behind one party like the Brexiteers have... and that’s Lib Dem in England and the Nats in Scotland.

Nigel Farage would be delighted at remainervoter, doing his job for him and their attempting to split the remainer vote, enabling him to divide and rule.

Btw, although I plan to vote Lib Dem, i’m not a member or affiliation with them - i last voted for them in 2005 I think.

Oakenbeach · 19/05/2019 23:14

Also, the most important principle here is not the number of seats in the EU parliament, it’s the development of a cohesive Remain force to take on the Brexit Party.

It would be far better for the, say, 35% who vote for Remain parties to vote (and I’m keeping this in England just for simplicity):

30% LD, 4% Green and 1% CHUK and get, say, 15 seats overall

than, say,
13% LD, 12% Green and 10% CHUK and get 18 seats overall.

The former clearly gives a much stronger platform than a divided and messy “Remain” landscape that NF must be hoping for.

HagridsBigToe · 19/05/2019 23:16

I don't understand any of this.
I fear that the remain vote will split with a low turnout. I also think Brexit party voters will be out in force.

Oakenbeach · 19/05/2019 23:21

And please don’t vote for CHUK.... a wasted vote if ever there was one.

bellinisurge · 20/05/2019 06:12

I'm sceptical about any website telling me to vote a certain way. I don't think Lib Dem vote is in the bag anywhere - I'm NW England. We all thought the bloody referendum would have a narrow Remain majority .
