Protect Democracy. Vote Tactically.

New data this week showed that just a small amount of tactical voting across the UK could deprive Boris of a majority. Imagine what a lot of tactical voting could do…

I usually try to stay out of party politics, however I feel this election is about the future of our democracy, and about all of us having a chance to express our hopes for the world we want to live in.

Personally, I believe the current Brexit deal will signal chaos for people in the UK, Europe and beyond. Not only due to all the social and economic disruption as we try to extricate ourselves and forge a complex new trade deal, but also because I believe that independence is as important as inter-dependence. We no longer live in a world where we can be an Island unto ourselves.

Many of our biggest challenges require collective action, and we live in an era where European leadership on issues like climate change and inequality may be our best hope — demonstrating we can build a future that restores our planet and our communities. We can no longer ignore our personal responsibilities, or rely on children to have to lead this fight alone. Why have we placed them in this position, where are the armies of parents standing behind their children?

This is not about right or left, this is about transcending division and putting the prospects of future generations before our short-term desires.

I would like to invite you to join me in voting tactically, for the future, in the hope that those elected will form a government of national unity to put things right for good! Together we have the potential to build a new culture of respect and parity of esteem amongst the nations in the UK, and in our relations with other citizens around the world. That’s true leadership, and it starts at home.

In many seats in Scotland, it will be voting SNP. In certain seats, this will mean voting for the Liberal Democrats, or the Green Party. In most cases it will mean voting Labour. But please vote tactically this Thursday and share this message with everyone you know.

Let’s use our votes for the best possible collective outcome, and not let them go to waste. Vote for the future! https://tactical.vote/
