Want to stop Reform? There are council by-elections every week, and it only takes a handful of people to swing them by getting the word out.

stopReformUK.vote/elections

It’s easier than you think, we are the majority.

(Keeping Reform out of councils reduces their #GE2029 campaigning capacity too)

Stop the Tories and Reform

Your vote is your power. Use it tactically to get the Tories and Reform out, then influence your new MP and the next government.

But if we had PR, and the percentages were the same* this is how many MPs each party would win:

REF 26% 169 MPs
LAB 23% 149.5 MPs
CON 18% 117 MPs
LD 15% 97.5 MPs
GRN 11% 71.5 MPs
SNP 3% 19.5 MPs
PC 1% 6.5 MPs
OTHER 2% 13 MPs

*if we had PR, people would likely vote for policies, and less tactically

Less than 2 hours left to wipe the smug grin off Farage’s visage

100ish voters showing up in some seats will stop Reform

Our electoral system means the progressive vote is diluted but there are lots of Green tactical recommendations on stopreformuk.vote

Polls close: 10pm

Farage wants to privatise the NHS.

Farage wants big business to decide whether you get treatment or die.

It's that simple.

Turnout could be very low at tomorrow’s local elections,

but that means just a few more votes can be a real game changer!

Don't let Reform win by default.

Doubling your tactical vote is easy, just take a friend to vote together.

Reform bot attacks on tactical voting are designed to confuse people

Because they know tactical voting is what will keep Reform out

The bot’s key message is that people won’t vote Labour

But that’s the point about tactical voting

In many places the vote is Libdem or Green
