⚠️Warning: there is no tactical voting site called "Tactical Choice" ⚠️
If you choose to vote tactically it's important to seek independent, impartial advice. And always check the source online, as printed leaflets could be out of date, or even intentionally misleading.

Forward Democracy
Empowering people to vote towards a better future
But if a race is on a knife edge, as it is in Gorton & Denton, it makes a Green tactical vote recommendation significantly more likely to succeed than a Labour one.
Of course, no one would have to vote tactically if we had a more representative voting system.

Usually that doesn't make a big enough difference, for example if Labour has a substantial lead over the Greens. So please don't take this to mean that the Greens can win *anywhere* with tactical voting - they can't. Plus, by-elections are a completely different game to local or general elections...

In multiple surveys - nationally, locally, and in our own - there is a clear difference in who is willing to vote tactically. Labour voters are significantly more willing to lend their vote to the Greens, than Green voters are to lend their vote to Labour...

People are sharing polls with Labour, Reform & Green pretty much neck and neck in Gorton & Denton. This shows that tactical voting is a must to stop Reform. It also proves we have the numbers to do it. But what some may have missed, is the question of who is more *willing* to vote tactically...

Reform could gain another MP this Thursday. That's why we're urging Labour, Lib Dem, & other party supporters to lend their vote to the Greens this time in Gorton & Denton. We've carried out extensive research and it points to this being our best chance of stopping a very real threat from Reform.

Stop the Tories and Reform
Your vote is your power. Use it tactically to get the Tories and Reform out, then influence your new MP and the next government.
Want to stop Reform? There are council by-elections every week, and it only takes a handful of people to swing them by getting the word out.
stopReformUK.vote/elections
It’s easier than you think, we are the majority.
