Where should the remain vote go in Putney?
In constituencies like Putney, that voted strongly remain (72%), I am sure a lot of people like me that want to express their support for remain in the general election. The tactical voting websites I've checked give different advice https://www.getvoting.org/ says vote Lib Dem and https://tactical.vote/ says vote Labour which is no help! I wish there was an alliance between Labour and Lib Dem to avoid splitting the vote and letting conservatives win, but there is not, so it is up to the remain voters of Putney to decide which way to go! My sense is there has been a much bigger Labour vote here for many years, even under Corbyn, and with a big swing from remain voters in 2017 that came close to winning - Cons 20,679 (-9.7%) Lab 19,125 (+10.8%) Lib Dems 5,448 (+5.3%) With Justine Greening standing down I expect the Cons vote will fall further because a lot of people will have given her credit for being a good parliamentarian in this Brexit mess. So my conclusion is to vote Labour, not something I am overjoyed about, and I will be writing to the candidate Fleur Anderson to say I am no big fan of Corbyn, I think he is a bit ineffectual and has the wrong people around him, but I will support her because she is the best chance of getting a remain candidate and a people's vote. Anyone else going through this same process. What are your thoughts?
