Voters are realising that we have the chance of a lifetime to consign this destructive, incompetent party to third place

With coordinated tactical voting in this election, the unthinkable could become possible. We pretty much know that Labour will form the next government, probably with a large majority (I’m sure even Tories have placed a bet on that). But such is the country’s visceral loathing for the Conservative party – its lies, entitlement, scandals and incompetence – that millions are now hoping that it will be voted into third place. This could change the course of British politics for at least a generation.
Everywhere, including in the foreign media, tactical voting is a huge story. This is the political opportunity of our lifetime. I’m part of the tactical voting website team at Stopthetories.vote, where you type in your postcode and, based on the latest polling, you’re informed how best to vote to make sure that a Tory candidate does not win in your constituency. Others will be using different platforms with the same aim.
