"In 64 councils, the Conservatives won an average of 62% of the seats with the support of just 44% of the electorate. This is a shocking democratic deficit” (Compass director, Neal Lawson).

This deficit can be overcome on May 4th but only if progressive parties co-ordinate to allow the best placed party to win and only if we get out to vote and vote tactically -

@CloudyMrs @WEBylines
I want Labour to be COMMITED, not just open, to #GTTO & OPENLY backing tactical voting in EVERY seat that a tory can be beaten.

If LD/SNP/PC/Green/ Monster RL party are 2nd to a tory then STAND DOWN.

That also goes for all other parties. If Lab are 2nd to a tory....STAND down your candidate.

Then we can have the coalition Govt that brings in PR to MAKE EVERY VOTE COUNT & never have a tory dictatorship again !

@GrahamKirk @WEBylines you misunderstand. Labour is open to tactical voting WITH the Tories AGAINST The SNP. They've been doing it for years. They are on the same side as the Tories.
