An election reminder. If you can't vote for the candidate you want because they won't get enough support to win then vote against the one you don't want by voting for the candidate best placed to beat them. You don't have to like them personally, just want to take a step along the road.

@AlisonW I wish the world would change to a ranked voting system. I feel like it would allow the best of both in this situation.

@TheFarshief @AlisonW the Irish system of rank choice voting with multi (3, 4 or 5) seat constituencies is great.
No wasted votes or weird tactical voting. Still get link between MPs and constituency.
Just express your preferences 1 to n (where there are N >= n candidates on the ballot).
The process of counting becomes a whole thing that requires a lot of time if still using paper ballots. In Ireland "the count" is a huge part of the election process that just happens overnight in most of UK.
