The numbers again in a nice shiny image

When left to their own devices, people often check previous results to figure out the tactical vote for themselves. This couldn't have happened here! It was the independent advice from StopReformUK.vote, backed by a Survation poll, that empowered Caerphilly to vote tactically and keep out Reform.

It's widely agreed that there was tactical voting.
But when multiple parties claim to be the tactical vote, how do people know which way to go?
StopReformUK.vote/senedd/caerphilly is how.
Look at previous results and then today's. There was no way people could have united without independent advice!

I guess if you don't care about Reform candidates frequently caught sharing extremely racist views then sure, they're not a bigger threat. In your opinion. But I doubt that's your opinion I assume you care about that. So I don't understand why you think Labour are as bad "if not worse"

Labour is NOT as much of a threat as Reform. That's wildly untrue. You don't have to like Labour, or agree with everything they do (I don't!) but Reform and MUCH worse. By far. It's not even close.

Don't vote Labour if you don't want to. But don't lie that they're as bad as Reform.

The advice is to vote Labour OR Lib Dem OR Green OR Independent ✨ actually ✨

(Depending on who is best placed to beat Reform in the area)

Where Reform (and the Tories) are no threat, the advice is to choose for yourself.

Shame on ✨you✨ for intentionally misrepresenting the site darling! 😘

One way could be a fine for a social media company found willingly spreading disinfo.

Another way could be making a rule that MPs are not allowed to spread disinformation.

We can be sensible! Just like a lot of other laws that rely on determining facts.

This is something easily verified by the police who arrested him. Sometimes it's quite easy to tell what is true without bias.

In this case we also had people in certain positions (elected MPs) spreading it. And the owner of a social media company spreading it.

We should try to prevent this.

We can take a recent example of the riots that happened after people spread disinformation online about the identity of someone who carried out a heinous stabbing. It was claimed he had a certain name and came to the UK in a small boat. He didn't have that name and was born here.
