Re: UK General Election
Sounds good on paper but the obvious problem with tactical voting is that only one side wins in any constituency.
So each proto-candidate not up for election would have to actively promote somebody else from another party.. and we're talking about politicians here who's raison d'etre is to look out for number one.
Such a policy would need to be imposed from above and nobody likes to be told what to do to their disadvantage.
Likely it'll all end in tears....

Were I campaigning, I would use this image in my posters. I'm undecided on a caption. Some form of ridicule, of course.
