1	This list shows which way you should vote in 2019 to prevent the Tories from getting into power again. (for up to date info see tacticalvote.co.uk)					About:	Due to our voting system there are many areas where only 1 of 2 parties can win. Don't throw away your vote on a candidate with no chance. Vote for someone with a chance. This spreadsheet shows you who.	Author of this sheet @chickabiddybex on Twitter	Tactical2019 Tactical 2019

5	Battersea	Aberconwy	Bath	Brecon and Radnorshire	Brighton Pavillion	Green	This is likely a safe Green seat, but because tactical voting across the country hurts the Greens the most I would suggest voting for them when we can.	TBC	Aberdeen South

11	FAQ: (see our website for our full FAQ) -->	https://tacticalvote.co.uk/faq/
12	Q: If there's another election soon will you make recommendations? A: Yes, we think tactical voting wil play an even bigger part next time. Many seats were very close with fewer than 100 votes deciding the winner. We only need a few more people to vote tactically to stop the Tories completely.
13	Q: Why are there only a few recommendations? A: There are a few seats where the tactical vote is quite clear. These are the seats that have been included so far. For the others, until the candidates have been confirmed, it is too early to give a recommendation.
14	Q: Did tactical voting have an effect in 2017? A: The Conservatives were predicted to win by a landslide but they ended up losing their majority. In the 2017 election they increased their vote share, but lost 13 seats. This was achieved by tactical voting. (Yes)
15	Q: You are recommending I vote for a party I don't support. Can I help stop the Tories and also help my party? A: Yes! You can help a candidate from your preferred party in another area who has a better chance of winning. You can do this by directly campaigning for them, or by spreading the word of tactical voting to other constituencies.
16	Q: I live in a Tory safe seat and I don't know what to do! I feel my vote won't matter A: 1) VOTE ANYWAY 2) There are plenty of things you can still do to help such as spreading the word of tactical voting to other constituencies where the vote is much closer, or by persuading friends and family to register to vote.
17	Q: Are you giving advice in Northern Ireland? A: It's complicated! The Tories don't run in NI but the DUP or UUP could form a coalition with them, Sinn Fein don't take their seats, and there's so much more to consider. Where it makes sense to, we will recommend voting against the DUP who formed a coalition with the Tories last time as we believe this is one of the best ways to stop the Tories.
18	Q: How is the current voting system "broken" or "rigged"? A: This video explains it pretty well -->	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9rGX91rq5I
19	Q: Why is my constituency missing? A: The sheet is still being updated so it might not have been added yet. Try the website which has 100% of constituencies.
20	Q: What algorithm do you use? A: There is no algorithm. Each seat is looked at and considered by a real person. Manually. All 650. (Yes it does take a long time!)
21	Q: I think you've missed something or something is wrong - how can I tell you? A: getinvolved@tacticalvote.co.uk or Tweet @tacticalvote
