@Lynne Then why haven't Newton Abbot Primary https://www.newtonabbotprimary.org/about who base tactical voting on two websites Stop the Tories https://stopthetories.vote/ and Best for Britain https://www.bestforbritain.org/ got behind Wrigley and the Lib dems if it's so clear cut? Stop the Tories' poll puts Labour ahead of the Lib dems; https://stopthetories.vote/parl/newton-abbot ...
The constituency of Newton Abbot is something like number 377 on the list of Labour Party target seats. It is a 'learner' seat as far as the LP is concerned. An LP member told me very recently that as they want a Labour government they wil be casting their vote tactically in Newton Abbot in order to have a greater chance of unseating AMM. They intend voting Lib Dem.
@Lynne yes they could. Disillusionment with mainstream politics is occurring all over the Western world, just look what has happened in Europe, Macron's snap election following the Marine Le Pen's victory in the Euros, etc. Reform UK and UKIP before it were formed to take on the Tories and attract Tory voters.

@burnside There's a lack of political discussion on his FB page, as you've found anyone who disagrees with or question him and his party is blocked. He only allows comments from supportive voices. He doesn't comprehend the concept of accountability. It's the same in Teignbridge District Council where opposition voices are not given the floor to debate motions and in the case of Richard Daws ...
I seem to be blocked from Wrigley's Facebook page, I think he took exception to being told a few home truths.
@1263 In the case of the Lib Dems it seems like Wrigley is on a mission. He is posting the same photos of the same Lib Dem posters several times on his social media, just cropped/zoomed in and from different angles. Supposedly to give the impression of there being more signs than there are and the Lib Dems 'Winning Here' (as their signs say) and as a desparate attempt to offset the damage to his ...
Always wondered why people put up posters on their property, if they are supporters then they will vote that way anyway, as for the the general public no amount of posters in someones property will make them change their vote just by seeing someone elses preference.
