vote swapping

[crazychic]

Has anyone swapped their votes.
I live where labour don't stand a chance. I've swapped my vote with someone else and they are going to vote labour in their constituency.
I am going to vote lib dem in mine. our parties receive the same number of votes they would have done, but our votes stand a chance counting.
I'd be interested to hear what people think.
I used voting budies on face book, it's the only site I've been able to find, although there does seem to be quite a lot of people talking about it.

Hmmm. Not heard of this before. What's to stop the person you vote for voting lib dem as well?

There is nothing to stop people voting in a way other than you intended. It's a gentlemans agreement.
There is no way to prove what way someone has voted, but if you were going to vote tactically against a party rather than for a party, you don't loose out.

Well, I thought the PCC I preferred didn't have a chance in my constituency (and so did the party high-ups, I believe) and was going to vote for them anyway - and now it seems that we've gone marginal and the sitting MP is rattled. So I think it's always worth voting for the person you think would do the best job and telling people that you're doing so - maybe it won't make the difference this year, but if another election's coming up soon, it may encourage other people to vote for them.
