TACTICAL VOTE 1
WHERE UKIP VOTERS SHOULD VOTE TORY
IN THE 2015 election, many seats were won by Labour because the naturally conservative vote was divided between the Tories and Ukip. In almost every case, the combined votes for those two parties would have beaten Labour. Listed here are 30 seats where Ukip supporters should vote tactically with the Conservatives to oust a sitting Labour MP — and thus give Theresa May the strongest possible hand to secure the best Brexit deal. 1.
